    Hi Colin.. Something a bit different.. emits a nice vibe, I can almost smell the salt and hear the gentle slapping of wave on hull. Improvements for me however would be making the two rear boats stand out a bit more, more like the lead boat. I know you wanted hi key but I dont think the subjects should disappear/blend into the BG quite so easily...Maybe others think differently however, be nice to see what they say.

    Hi Colin, the pano crop gives this scene a very nice feel but as Don mentions the two boats on the right side seem to be disappearing into the background...unlike the left boat which stands out nicely.

    Thanks for the comments. Considering the direction of sailing, one could say they were appearing out of the background . Here I have altered levels on the rear yacht's sails, and softened the border.
