Sailboat II Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

I made this picture the same day as this one. Focus is made on the foreground, instead.

I really enjoy the composition and the colors of this picture. I think I would prefer with a large DOF, to have all elements sharp.
A pity that there is this motored boat, the image would have been so quiet without it !

In some ways I agree with Sophie but I can see why you did it like this. Having the boats out of focus gives the photo an ethereal quality. Just a matter of taste really

Good idea to concentrate on the foreground as opposed to the background in this shot, contrasts with the other shot well.

Well done, I think the blurry boats are a good touch, not everyones cup of tea and if you had not posted a similar picture the other way round I think I woudl have complained that you shoudl have tried it the other way around :P

Well done!

* NOTE: Bonjour Jerry - For a better presentation of the list of locations, to prevent multiple inscriptions and to make research easier, it would be nice to write the names in small letters, beginning with a capital, connecting nouns with a slash/hyphen ["-"] except after articles as: Le, La, Les, or d' and not using any abbreviation (St > Saint).

So it should be: Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, rather than: Saint Jean Cap Ferrat.

Could you please make this change by clicking on "Edit" in the left colom? The webmaster and I would be very thankful.
