Sailing

It is nice to see an image of a classic boat from a different perspective. The eye is drawn to the bowsprit and the tack-sharp detail in the old sails and rigging which makes for an effective focus point in the image. Overall a very well captured image given the harsh lighting you were presented with.

Technically a very well put together image with bang on, sharp focus and a good edit. Focusing while looking into the sun is difficult and you have managed it well here. The use of negative space and minimal distractions emphasises the subject of the photo making for a nice image to look at. Overall a fantastic photo, brilliantly capturing the atmosphere of kite surfing.

A great use of leading lines in this photo, the viewer's eyes are led to the detail of the yacht by use of the both the seaweed covered ropes and the shapes in the clouds. Good job on the focus, composition and colour profile of this image!

So much movement is captured within this photo, which can be rare to see nowadays. You have chosen a good depth of field for the style of photography, minimising the risk that some flags or masts are soft. It is lovely to see a different perspective of sailing captured very nicely.

I love that you have captured another photographer in this shot. It looks like you may have missed focus very slightly on the yacht, which is easy to do, but the exposure of the shot is spot on and the composition is creative.

It can often be difficult to get the surfer and and the kite in the same frame and you have managed it here very nicely. A minimalistic shot with a sharp injection of colour works very well with the overall composition. Well done!

You have captures a very atmospheric photograph here. It is often rare to see fog like this with such good light for photography. You've achieved a great focus on the central yacht by use of contrast and shadows. Next time look at straightening your horizon and you will have a fantastic image!

The working boats of Falmouth are always a sight to see during Falmouth week! You have captures them beautifully and in great detail. You have achieved a good array of colours here, but have kept the sea and sky a natural looking colour. Well done!

A different perspective on sailing photography. You have displayed an eye for textures and a great use of backlighting to show the contrast of the carbon reinforcement of the sail. Rather than just taking the shot in the middle of the sail, you chose to photograph the clew and include the white reinforcement which creates radial leading lines to draw the viewer into the corner. Nicely done!

A nicely captured image showing the action of yacht racing. The viewer can gain a sense of excitement of the racing well. Next time it would be worth looking at your horizon levelling, I can tell from the wave angles that its not quite straight. Overall a very good capture!

Panning is a difficult style of shot to master,, especially at 400mm! It seems you have done a great job here! The forestay and mast of the boat are not blurred, neither are the people's heads. The colours and contrast in the image make it "pop" for the viewer, as their eyes are drawn into the detail of the sailors.

A joyful image here! Few photographers manage to capture the facial expressions and body language of the sailors, but you have achieved this perfectly here! A really great shot taken from a phone camera, especially with such a wide field of view. It looks like you had a great trip sailing!

You have captured a different perspective to many of the other photographers I have seen. The colours you have caught work well with each other and the motion of the clouds and the ship's ensign, paired with tack sharp masts shows you have a good technical understanding and the correct settings for a shot like this. Well done!

The minimalism of this photo creates a great atmosphere. The size of the sailor compared to the sea creates a nice contrast and two focuses in the image, the windsurfer and the sun rays. Leading lines from the rays draw the viewer's eye in nicely.

A different and original photo composition, and a perfect exposure. The bright area by the sun leads the viewers eye to the centre of the image and the highlighted and textured bow of the boat grabs the attention. Overall the colours and textures captured here are brilliant!

You have captured a great atmosphere in this photo, managing teh shadows and highlights well to draw the viewers eye to the subject of the image. The contrast and the injection of colour on the boat adds to the drama of the image. A great shot! Well done.
