Good Morning Joel,
Those ships, nicely positioned in the frame, absolutely dominate the scene. You emphasise their height by your pov, which makes the masts dwarf the surrounding skyscrapers, whilst the figures appear as ants. Fine dof and sharpness.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Bonjour Joël
Ils sont parfaitement cadrés ces deux monstres des mers.Le point de vue en donne et il est bien d'avoir intégrer les mats dans ce carré sans les avoir coupés ce qu'il n'est toujours facile de réaliser quand a a pas le bon point de vue.
Bravo et bonne journée

Salut Joel,
Très belles allures pour ces bateaux, l'angle donne encore plus de hauteur aux mâts, belle luminosité, les couleurs sont très plaisantes sur ta vue.

Bonjour Joël,
Les mats des voiliers ont un effet graphique. La distance entre le voileir à l'avant-plan et les maisons donne de la profondeur à la composition. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails et les couleurs des voiiliers et des maisons. La bonne luminosité rehausse les couleurs de l'image. Bonne journée.

Bonjour Joel
Celui de devant est un peu moins imposant mais ses lignes aérodynamiques sont magnifiques. Même à l'arrêt on sent bien que ce sont des lévriers des mers, prêts à rugir.
Amicalement

Bonsoir Joël,
C'est un vrai "choc" de titans, les géants des mers se sont donnés rendez-vous dans le Port de Sète et le combat s'annonce serré ;0) Bonne utilisation des dimensions permises par TE (Je ne pensais pas que ta photo pourrait passer !), et très bon cadrage, ça donne envie de prendre le large...
Bonne soirée !

Bonsoir Joel,
Un très bon cadrage qui donne aux voiliers une impression d'imensité étonnante ! Les habitations de l'arrière plan semblent minuscules face aux géants de la mer et le contraste entre les couleurs des coques et les tons tendres des maisons augmente cette impression
Amitiés

Hi Joel,
You're capturing well this two giant sailboats by a good composition and excellent tone/clarity, so it's interesting and impressive to see the sailboats moored to the port while showing off a graceful and gorgeous hull. It's proud for the spectacle in which the high pole is set on the body of a color with black/red in both ships. And, it is hamonized well by surroundind buildings of port, blue water and sky, too.
Have a nice day.
Kind regards,
mikio

Quelle élégance! Ces deux voiliers géants sont magnifiques et la lumière du moment leur rend un hommage bien mérité. J'aime aussi les deux WS, en particulier les vues serrées comparées des deux bateaux.

Grazie, caro Joel, per questo bellissimo regalo che hai fatto alla bandiera della Marina Italiana ed a tutti gli appassionati italiani di barche a vela. Tre stupende immagini di questa grande goletta, orgoglio della Marina Italiana. Bellissimo specialmente il close-up della polena. Bravissimo, come sempre!
Ciao, buona serata e buona settimana!

I vecchi velieri hanno il "loro" fascino unico.
Bella presentazione con alberi in tutta lo loro massima estensione.
POV eccezionale.
