Love it. what beautiful colors. I also like all the elements of the boat. It is so relaxing to look at, great job:)

Beautiful. And, for me, the ship's rigging in the foreground adds greatly to the interest of the image. Takes me back to my high school days when I read the Bounty trilogy. Might have to dig that out and read it again. ;)

Hi Jay...Good comp with interest and impact.The silouette of the man adds alot to the image.

[Rich Ikerd]

Great image Jay. The wonderful colors are special, but the silhouetted rigging and person really make it special.

Hi Jay,
I feel this is stronger than your first post. As mentioned above the man adds scale and the placement in the frame is right on. In the re-post I cropped the mast out......as for me it strengthens the comp.....but let's see if others re-visit and chime in. Well done!

[Dave Mills]

Hey Roman, I think your crop does make it stronger...

[Jay Gould]

Hi Roman, very interesting! I debated about the mast and choose to leave it in to give the image a frame rather than open space. I like it both ways; very different feelings are evoked. Cheers, Jay
