    Lovely; I miss my sailboat!

    Not crazy about the framing; this is well captured and I do not believe it adds.

    I would crop down a sliver and remove the strip of grey sky against the frame. I find it a distraction from your story.
    Cheers, Jay

    Another vote against the frame gimmick. I also agree with the tiny crop suggestion to get rid of that sliver at the top. The colors and scene are wonderful. Looks like a wall hanger to me.

    I agree that the frame should go. I also would remove the sliver at the top, and I would go further by cloning out the light patch about 3/4 of the way up on the left side. But the colors are beautiful.

    Hi, Terry, I agree the colors and the composition are wonderful. I would remove the gray sliver at the top also

    The light and clouds are stunning here.
    I'd like to see a version that's bigger (you can post up to 1200px wide) and without the frame as it draws my eye too much
