 Taken on a sunny day as these 2 sailors were going for a training sail, had just been given a practical onshore talk in how to steer using the sail sheets (ropes) as well as the rudder, they performed quite well. When leaving shore the 2 yachts lined up heading straight for the horizon.

I really like the processing on this. Very well composed also.

Woefully underrated, and most unfortunately, it's probably because some folks don't like the border. I thought this a lovely use of high key - has a great sense of serenity to it, the water is lovely, and even though it's high key, the sky is clean, not blown. Really lovely work - delicate touch, and very much underappreciated.

I quite like the high key overexposed look of the image, but I'm afraid the border really takes away from the image.
