[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
It may be strange to you, but after sailing for a few days in the middle of the sea, without seeing any human presence apart from the crew members of you own ship, a feeling of loneliness begins to establish even if there is a good spirit on board. As a consequence, seeing another ship, any of them: a fishing boat, a yacht or as here a small freighter is always a pleasure: you are back into the human community, even if miles away from the shore...

Bonsoir Emmanuel,
You took very well advantage of the ropes and sails here as a frame for the view over the wide sea and towards the ship. The colours and light are both very pleasant here and the vertical composition is good too. Thanks for sharing!
Regards,
Lars

That is very true and I have been working offshore for almost 28 years. Sometimes is quite hard and we need a good spirit to keep going. Right now I am on my third week without seeing anything than my working mates.
Again, another very nice photo of that beautiful ship.
Antonio

In the infinity of the sea we look for a human presence. In the old days of sailing vessels, when two ships crossed each other in the Atlantic, they used to stop, lower down a small boat and reach the other vessel for a chat!
I like this half view of the bow with the sparkling deck.
Have a nice day,
Donato

Hello Emmanuel,

This is a fine dynamic composition with impressive details!
Big sailing vessels are probably fine subjects to work with for a photographer, since they provide so many fine lines...
Scanning and post processing are very well done, giving such fine details in this well balanced composition!

Greetings,
Pablo -

Bonjour Emmanuel
Like the contrast of the wooden floor & the white sail, with the ropes making a frame of the small fishing boat in the sea. I always felt what you said in the last part of your note...sea journey can be lonesome. Well done here!
Best Regards
Angshu
