I suspect that the washed out sky could be helped by using a polarizing filter, then exposing for the sky using care not to wash out the sails, and using fill flash to get the observer lit, although that would likely wash out the observer's finger that finds itself in sunlight. However, most of these suggestions would, I fear, not be possible when taking such a transitory shot. |
Yeah, it was a very seat of the pants shot, and I really had the wrong lens on. |

| Nice image overall here. I would of preferred a different composition perhaps with the main subject to one of the lower thirds and leave just one of the boats in the frame. The sky is very blown out but short of advanced editing or a gradient ND filter that is tough to overcome. The black line on the sail seems out of place as well, almost seems like something hanging in front of the camera. But all in all a nice entry. |

| nice job! my only complaint is that the bystander is dark and the boats are really over lit (sun is our enemy) |
