This is an image I visualized over 20 years ago.
On this late afternoon all of the elements came together.
Out of the box in that I wanted the sun and sailboat center frame and that is the way I created this image.

I think the title is perfect for this shot. I'm always in awe of those who visualize and think out of the box. Oh.....to have that type of creativity!!!!
Hey James, I really love this! This is a really neat image and one I probably would never have seen the way you present it. Thanks, now I will be looking a little differently! :)
Awesome image.
I love this type of shot. I have similar but not as sucessful as this. With my Canon 1D bodies I have been forced to use 1.4X + 2X or 2X+2X to get his close. And how did you get the boat that close to the camera. My sailboat sunball images have a sailboat 1/2 the size.
James, I've been chasing an image like this for as long as I can remember and I recall how awsome it was the first time I saw it at a local artshow. Now I just hope one day to capure an image to equal it as I don't believe it could be bettered! Really great image!
This composition is fantastic..... my hat off to you Sir. This is an extreamily difficult shot which you put together very nicely. Congratulations on your vision come true. :cool:
