Wonderful silver tones across the water with the many sail shapes creates an interesting composition. In comparison the mountain silhouettes look huge creating a vastnesss of space. Well done! Best wishes, Lamar.

Great pic and great point of view. You were able to capture a fantastic atmosphere. the mountain hidden by the haze gives a sense of mistery and fear, on the other hand the brightness of the sun on the water and the sailboats give a quite feeling. Excellent water effects, the boats seem to sail on ice!!regards duccio

Hi Eugenio.
A very fine shot you made here. The colors are fine, I like the misty look this one has along with the sun in the water. The difference in the size between the mountains and boats are stricking, I love the way you captured this. Lets us know how small we really are ;o) Keep clicking ;o)
Best regards
Sass

Beautyfull shot Eugenio. The bleu haze, the foggy mountains and the reflection of the sun on the water makes this a perfect picture.

Well done!!

Exceptional atmosphere you've created here, Eugenio. Little sailboats make us appreciate the magnificently huge mountains and vice versa. Mustve been incredibly hard to properly expose the reflecting sea, especially when it's in a haze like that, but you've done remarkable job here.

A truly amazing picture of "Rhapsody in Blue". The incredible panorama seems it never has an end. The best part of the photo is the criples on the sea, and how the sun makes a dancing reflection on them. I am only not sure on the gray frame; a white, a dark blue, a thin pitch black frame or even no frame at all would have done better. Congrats Eugenio, you've deserved to take the top seat in the main page and this is indeed a hell of a wallpaper too.

Hi Eugenio,

I'm not so sure I can do much better than Marta in describing how much I like this shot but I'll try. I like how these seaside cliffs are shrouded in the mists, giving this a haunted feel. But then in the very same image we see the light! The beautiful silvery reflection upon the surface brings hope from the unknown of the background. God showing the way and making a comforting path with his light for all these insignificant followers in the sea! Truly an image full of hope and mystery, all in one!

Other than the small amout of noise in the sky this is my favorute shot from you, Eugenio. Such an emotional scene! Splendid eye for you to see this opportunity. Frame it and call it a day!

It is a beautiful scene, but all those sails turns this into something extraordinary. I might could wish for less noise in the sky, but that is just minor minor. At first I would crop out some of the front, but I findt it hard doing anything to the beautiful blue in front. Great shot!!

When I first look to the icon, I cannot understand the title. Where are the sails? Than, looking to the (big) image I have seen them! There are a lot of sails, and they are so small... the rocks of the coast are really huge. This was my first impression. The image is wonderfull, but without the sails probaly we cannot feel the majesty of the landscape. Congrats. Ciao

Hi Eugenio, a wonderful sence you had captured. Those fog around the moutain really impressive me and the reflected light on the sea. Just feel that the left side is too much space for my taste. I would like to add some stuff on the left something like The Sun. It would be more interesting and attractive. Overall is a good photo and thanks for sharing.

Just writing about your similar photo (sails in the reflex) I told you that it was something of exceptional and very particular, but in this case you've been able to obtain a photo even more fine.
As someone said, here, it wasn't easy to have these effects wih digital camera, but I've to say that this image is really interesting, and it seems fine the choiche of the composition, with the mountains so discreetly present, and this drawing (quite something of abstract) made by the little sails in regata.
Really, something of very beautyful. Bravo!

Not only do we see a scene of magnificent pictorial beauty we look in on the entire fleet of a race regatta with what looks like a buoy on the extreme left.The towering rocks totally dwarf the boats as they sail in this splendid vista. The water sparkles like silver grains carefully reflecting the serene surroundings. The composition is a lesson for all to see, the haze covered hills majestically guarding their watery surrounds. The huge and spacious scene is captured with great care and attention to minute detail. If this is an aerial shot as your category suggests it is nothing short of a miracle.

Thanks Eldon Per the beautiful criticism. The photo and is served as a helicopter that the regatta followed. I have not cut on the left because there was the boa and I believe that it serves for the composition. I have gone off 400 images from 3,2 Mb , of this scene and I have to fill a microdrive from 2.2Gb :-))

Impressive picture Eugenio!From the sky to the sand, from the top to the bottom, is one picture unique and incredible.It transmits a sensation of immensity and solitude that leaves me perplex.The variation of the tonality, the mist and simultaneously the sharpness is extraordinary.These Sails in the haze like ordered points that are crossing the sea is as surprising as the rest of all composition.I am touching before as much beauty.Best regards,Marta

While Luis see a sand, I see a ocean, covered by ice. And there can be an iceboats.
It is the same - yachts, iceboats or something else - still wonderful image of beautiful place.
1TU of 3 given for right usage of a digital camera - you very good use it, making from a crummy, weak itself possibilities of a 828 (for such kind of shots) very puwerful artwork.
It is very nice job, with good understanding of your camera.

Sails in the haze****

It was worth the wait to download this 543K Image of 945x649 pixels. It deserves 7TUs but I'm allowed just 2TU. Impressive Display of Beauty and Freedom Eugenio. Fabulous tones, texturally amazing. Looks like the Sun reflections on the Sea have transformed the Ocean water into sand and this are Sail Gliders on a Desert as vast as the Sahara. If it weren't for the Mountains we would believe this is a Mirage due to excessive heat. Great alignment of the Sailboats in this 'Race' to the Finish line in full style and awesome sharpness, in spite of the fog. Sails in the Haze navigates undoubtedly to a Main Page in the History of Photography.

Hi! This photo is nice. The mountains in the background gives scale to the little boats.The mist gives some mood. There is some overexposition but it works fairly aiding the atmosphere. Jose Paulo
