Congratulations on score / terrific shot!! One of the BEST.. Looks like the World Cup here:)
Where were u when u took this? Guessing by proximity on the water.

The sails leaning that far indicate high winds.

If the castle is on the top of the cliffs the views must be fantastic..

Lovely shot Steve, is that a bit of special-DPC postprocessing that make the boats pop?

Definitely one for the calendar :-)

Steve, what a cool photo! It looks like it ought to be a huge painting hanging in a living room! Fantastic job! And I love it that it is your 4th highest rated photo, so it will grace your profile page for a while :)

I've come back to this several times. I really like it. It almost is like a realistic painting. Beautiful shades of blue. I love how all of the sales make the diagonal lines in unison.

Very nice but it's too bad you actually didn't have a cloud in the sky. Could have added to the picture with a little contrast in the sky.

The lean of the boats and sails really give a strong sense of motion...the photo really comes to life because of it. Beautiful scene and photo!
