An afternoon out on the water

It was mid September late in the afternoon, a group of sailboats were out on the water enjoying the weather, there was a soft breeze blowing, pushing on the sails.

Beautifully taken, Don! Love the space all around the center horizon line. Nice work!

A lovely, restful scene. The low sun is perfect, lighting the sails and, in one case, light coming through the sail, which I love. I don't know if it is permitted to offer a gentle suggestion, so I'll do it and delete it if it's out of line: If I had made it, I would crop a teensy bit from the right to crop out the red-sailed boat. I'd grab it in the upper-right corner and move it down just a scoche. That keeps the proportions right but hides the slightly distracting red boat.

This is beautiful, Don! So peaceful. I love all the shades of blue.

Nicely balanced shot Don - you have told the story well!

Beautiful picture really eye catching

Beautiful. Reminds me of home even though I didn't appreciate the beauty around me as I was too busy watching my back 24/7. I missed so much of the beauty around me but now I defintely don't. Through the work of others and my own.

A Very Challenging Photo

Sometimes a bit of luck is all you need.

I was recently back in the woods trying to take some wildlife photos. Sadly, I barely came across any birds that day and whenever I did, they were gone before I could even focus on them.
