This yacht was moored just off the shore from Villa Beach. It was a dream-like setting with the boat bobbing lazily on the waves and the golden clouds on the horizon.

I believe that it was like a dream... Its beautiful... Composition is very good, colors are great. Regards. gr

Great work, amazing colours in the sky!! did you use a polarizing filter?? reminds me of the film 'the truman show' when he is in the boat trying to escape, very dream like!

Jonathan this photo looks indeed like a dream. The light is fantastic and the colours and the sky are beautiful. The off center position of the sail boat makes the composition very good. Well done!

Yes, truly a dream-like setting which you captured very well. The colours look extremely original and the composition respects all the golden rules of thirds to a tee. For once I could almost wish for a slight frame (and normally I don't like frames)

I love this one, the colours on the verge of looking unnatural but I like it this way here. The intese blue of the water matches perfectly with the intense gold of the clouds which turns into a pleasent blue of the sky above. The boat itself is perfectly exposed and positioned.
You have a winner here.

Hello Jonathan !
It is a very good picture. I like it very much. There's a good balance beeween the boat and the biggest cloud and colors are simply incredible.

I used to be a meteorologist in a previous job so I am always impressed by good cloud photoes. Whilst it is a good photo of towering cumulus, with a rain shower underneath and cirrus clouds they are also a prefect shape in the perfect position to balance the composition with the boat. Excellent shot

Turned out nice again Jonathan!
Colours are amazing in this photo. So too the contrast in the clouds, giving so much depth!
The boat is great in the foreground.
Very well done.

Note to self: must make a point of going here!

Wonderful job Jonathan! Excellent composition and amazing colours. This place looks really like a dream...Good sharpening and contrast, beautiful sky with fantastic lights and shadows.
Well done, it is a really great shot!

Hi Jonathan, it's another great shot straight from the paradise, an excellent boat placement, fine low light creating the atmosphere and superbly saturated dream colors, it's kust splendid !

wonderful shot, very nice color.
I like the details of the cloud. Very nice composition.

wow, this may be a favorite for me of yours. Magnificient cloudscape and color. Looks like film, argentic.

Wow that's greatttt ! I like the contrast of the color and the "so blue" sea !

I really love those clouds. Punchy and an artist impression. I always love cloud scenes and this is good. That yacht is pretty solemn here.

Jonathan, by far outstanding!!! What a capture of the oceans realm, the sky and the lonely boat, straight up on 1st place!!!! For me it could very well be Prince Caspians boat in "The Cronicles of Narnia"!

Not only a dream, but a also looks like paradise. The colours are nicely saturated. The clouds formation are impressive. I also like the sharp horizon between sky and sea, which means there is hardly any haze. Great colours and composition.

Beautiful picture fantastic Colour good cropped.Well done!!

Très joli ciel dégradé avec des nuages bas sur l'horizon agréablement teintés par un soleil très bas. Le bleu de la mer est en excellent contraste avec les colorations du ciel.

Wow!
Great photo it is soo beautiful, sharp and nice colors,it's very dreamlike, it looks like a magnificent post card.. I love them clouds!
Very nice

What an excellent and impressive shot! Very fine colors and mood! Great sharpness and lighting! Excellent work!

Indeed "An ocean Dream" :)

Its a great shot. The ship is a bit dark and the sea a bit noisi but the colors, clouds and image formation is great!

Im interested in what you changed in this shot! Can u post the original as a workshop?

Kind regards
Daniel

Beautiful ! The sharpness of the clouds and the colour contrast between clouds and sea is fantastic. Did you do any pp and if yes, what did you do ? Very good work !

Bernd

Nothing much to say here J, except that I'd like to have been on that yacht just then! Serene!

Excellent photo. The clouds very close to the horizon on the left side are a little too rusty to me, not really natural sunset colors. If they could all be made the color of the clouds on the right, it would be excellent. Very beautiful none-the-less.

Beautiful shot! The lighting and colors are just perfect!

I will give 3 critiques for this photo

1-Excellent
2-Excellent

Great composition! Amazing colors. I wish I could be there.

Splendid image: I like the strong colors saturation, the clouds formation that breaks the uniformity and the golden reflection on boats.

Just one thing wrong with this picture: I'm not part of it!!!
Question... Saint George: Do you mean St. George's, Grenada?
Thanks for sharing.

Only one word: WONDERFUL!!!

I love the the blue and yellow/orange reapeat themselves in the sky and water and horizon line and boat reflection. Also the height of the clouds on the left balance out the photo with the height of the mast on the right. Nice job.

Hi Jonathan. Yes indeed it is a wonderful image and very well captured. Thanks for sharing.

Ocean Dream indeed! What more could be said. When in Rome, well in my case; Japan, I will say what the Japanese say "Sugoi." With their enthusiasm it couldnt mean anything more then the utmost best.
The colours, framing and composition are out of this world!
Wonderful job!

Hey Jonathan,
I checked out the workshops on your photo, and I've gotta say, the original is by FAR the best of them all. Great job! Great exposure!

how beautiful, the bright blue water, those specatular clouds casting a reflection on the water , and the sun setting on the sailboat all add up to one awesome photo for me...TFS
Donna :o)

beautiful clouds and lighting. Nice composition too. A tad noisy though.

Une photo vraiement extraordinaire avec ce mur de nuages tout au fond de l'horizon. De toute beauté. Bravo

Robin

Fabulous colours and composition, I like that the photo cosists of only 2 tones - blue and orange.
It surely catches attention.

Great capture. Lovely scene, very nice warm colours, thanks to the warm light, brilliant. Very minimalistic and rustic composition.
Good sharpness.
I like the clouds..what a nice sky!
