Beautiful colours and great image. leaving the viewer trying to work out if in fact these boats are on the edge of the water, with hardly any horizon line and no way to see the depth of the boats it gives off this illusion to the viewer of these boats being just perched on the edge. A lovely soft colour in the clouds, not too over processed to over power the boats, that I like. and at the same time nice sharp boats! Great capture that would make wonderful wall art.
A great light of warmth touching the boats, and subtle pastel shades, As a certified drone user myself I love to see drone images, a great capture, I would in future make a small adjustment to the drone with any image like this slightly to allow you to make use of a section of the image that could be cropped to create a more minimal image as my eye is a little distracted by the top left, id love to see this image cropped tighter over the right hand side, well done, always tricky with drones!
Wonderfully subtle colours displayed here, with great crisp reflections. I love the pastel shades and the blue boat in the foreground makes a striking subject. id love to see this image make a top 10 one day and for me two very minor tweaks would be to get it there - have no reflection catching the left hand side of the boat and to also make a tighter crop down the right hand side, this will keep the feature of the main image in sight and pull together your image into a worthy winner. great image keep it up!
What a boat, what an image! The colour of the sky with the light bouncing off the side of the boat breaking through the wave really stood out to me, well done. I bet this boat must tell a thousand tales, a way of life for some to earn their living and others just for pleasure. The tips of this boat are yellow which are also enhanced by the sunlight, but what really caught my eye was the angle on the boat, the way it heads out to sea, what a sight and what a capture, well done.
This image really caught my attention, I love the depth you have created here of the boats at the horizontal angle in the foreground with the beautiful detail. the colour tone really works well especially as the boat further away is in the same tonal range and doesn't pull for attention-it is just casually sitting there waiting for your focus to be lead there. its intriguing as you lead the viewer to the wooded area in the back of the picture - perhaps for me this is a little bright and would the picture in turn look more abstract and pleasing if the top had a small crop to it keeping the viewers eye more focused on the boats which fill the frame? either way its a lovely image, well done.

It could be a cruise ship leaving port, a single fisherman in a rowboat or perhaps a kayak riding the rapids in a canyon stream. Photos taken on (or of) boats are a great way to experience nature and the endless photographic opportunities of water.

lovely capture, I love how the icebergs here mimicked the shape of the sailing boat as if they were sailing under their own power of the water. a beautiful scene with colours to match. its lovely to see you've kept the editing to more minimal and not enhanced the colours as this has kept the image a very true representation of the scene, well done.
Simple. Its easy to over look a simple image, but this one really caught my eye. Being a sailor myself its easy think you can get the images but realities with a long lens is that unless you are on land or a very stable boat its very tricky! Well done on great spacing, perhaps a little tight on the edges of the picture just left and right but chances are at 300mm plus you're at the edges for that reason alone! nicely placed into the bottom section of the frame and super sharpness, well done!
