Picture took in Guarapiranga`s lake in Sao Paulo Brazil durring and competition.
Difficult shot because we were following by side the main boats during a huge storm in an 3 people little boat without protection.
By this time I was using a black plastic bag for 50 liters only with the cap and front of the len out it. I just see what the eye-viewer of my camera points.

Looks stormy! I don't think the tilt works here, perhaps if it were more extreme so that it looked a little more purposeful?
03/17/2009 05:46:46 AM
They are sailing downriver. Was this during a flood?
03/17/2009 12:45:05 AM
tilt doesnt quite seem right for this
03/16/2009 07:12:32 PM
In the rain! And down hill!
03/15/2009 09:41:21 PM
The rain splashing in the water makes it so textured it almost looks like grass rather than water. I like that it is not straight. This makes it look like the boats are about to flow out of the frame.

Good capture.
03/15/2009 09:07:51 PM
Nice capture in very difficult conditions.
03/15/2009 08:48:32 PM
Feels nostalgic ... like it was taken 100 years ago.
03/15/2009 05:16:35 PM
full of energy....
03/15/2009 05:13:11 PM
is that noise or what?
03/15/2009 04:25:13 PM
Title is as exact as the photo.
03/15/2009 12:03:13 PM
sorry I have no word for this - the image quality is so poor
03/15/2009 10:30:00 AM
the toning was a good idea, it helps soften the bright sky
03/15/2009 09:25:03 AM
Looks like they are sailing crooked. I do wish the horizon was straight. Maybe you meant to do this though. Looks like you got soaked too!
03/15/2009 07:10:14 AM
and sailing in the rain and yet the sun seems to be shining, one suggestion would be to straighten the horizon as they seem to be sailing downhill
03/14/2009 08:13:42 PM
Sorry. This looked like a field. On closer look, it is raining (hard).
03/14/2009 06:53:19 PM
Sailing in the rain! You might want to straighten the horizon, they look like they are about to sail off the edge of the world.
03/14/2009 11:39:15 AM
Could've titled this Dedication perhaps. Nice shot.
03/14/2009 07:26:23 AM
needs to be straightened...to flat in tone
03/14/2009 06:53:19 AM
I like the tilt here and that the masts are perfectly vertical. Give it a different dynamic.
03/14/2009 01:04:23 AM
Looks like interesting weather for sailing!
03/13/2009 03:02:48 PM
The water almost looks like grass.
03/13/2009 12:06:11 PM
tilted horizon doesn't work for me, but definitely i can sense the harsh conditions for sailing in this weather!
03/13/2009 09:36:37 AM
Good capture of the rain, composition is a little cramped, but not in a bad way.
03/13/2009 05:57:52 AM
Wow.. looks like they get rain there.
Not sure on the crooked horizon, the water will run out.
03/13/2009 05:40:44 AM
Seems very wet here. Nice catch of the rain.
03/13/2009 02:51:56 AM
Not sure whether this "washed out" look & feel to the image was intentional. Not my preference,
03/12/2009 05:36:58 AM
This is a great shot! Very moody... I like it!
03/11/2009 08:17:10 PM
Not such a good day to go sailing, but nice photo.
03/11/2009 02:54:12 PM
The tilted horizon gives the feel that it was taken on a boat. Not sure if that was intentional, but I like it.
03/11/2009 02:44:56 PM
The rain makes the water look like asphalt!!!
03/11/2009 02:40:51 PM
Doesn't look to be a good day for sailing
03/11/2009 12:56:54 PM
Not to usual to see this kind of picture in the rain. I like that!
03/11/2009 12:11:16 PM
Beach bound for shelter? good capture.
03/11/2009 10:48:19 AM
too bad the horizon isn't straight, but i like the composition
03/11/2009 09:56:44 AM
This could have been a good shot but I feel it focuses on the water not the boats/rain
03/11/2009 08:48:42 AM
Sao Paulo! I have been there! The rain is a VERY cool touch. It takes a cliche photo opportunity and makes it so much more interesting.
03/11/2009 05:57:38 AM
This is a funky image - I like it. I like that it's raining, that the horizon is tilted, that nothing is tack sharp. All the little things that comprise this image make it more interesting, somehow. Good luck!
