Evening race Photo

Photographer’s Note

Tejn is a little town at the northern cost of Bornholm. A few years ago the harbour was crowded with fishingboats, but now there´s only a few left. Now there´s more of these kind of boats in the harbour - especially in the summertime when the population of Bornholm explodes and thousands of tourist are invading the little island. I captured these boats just outside the harbour, probably going for a little evening trip, or race in the beautiful sunset. The flag to the left tells me that there still are some fishes down there waiting to be caught...
The picture has been cropped and the contrast increased. I have used NeatImage to reduce some noice. ISO 100 Daylight Whitebalance.

Wow, everything about this picture is right. The golden evening light sure does magic.

Admirable ... Le fond jaune et les tons rosés sur les bateaux sont fabuleux !
La composition est également parfaitement réussie avec des rochers plus présents sur la gauche ce qui équilibre bien l'ensemble du cliché. Un grand bravo !

colors are great, really pleasant. could be nice if the horizon line was not in the middle of the image, but i'm not sure

very beautiful image. I like much the composition shifted on the left whereas the sailing ships progress towards the left.In my opinion, foreground of the rocks is a little too high. But the colors are so superb.
Congratulations

Nice picture with very beautiful colors. Nice framing.

Excellent cadrage au bon moment. D'avoir pu saisir au coucher du soleil ces voiliers est magique.
Suggestion. Recadrer l'image pour supprimer le petit défaut d'horizon.
Bravo et merci pour le partage.

Great composition and light you got this scenary with - its ok to use neatimage - but the problem can be that some of the sharpness get lost - you did very well here - but a little PP / workshop could have made the image perfect - may be I post an example later.
Thanks Per.

As I hit my computer keys right now, just 15 or 20 miles from me on Lake Winnepesaukee, there are races similar to this going on. I really like the hues of this capture, because it really adds to the excitement of the shot. Well done.

Hello Per. Very beautiful landscape. This is a fantastic composition. I like the light and the contrast between the sky and the sea. Very good job.
