BOOM! Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Here is a shot from the sailboat from the trip I took a few weeks ago. I titled it boom, that is actually what you are seeing come off the mast in thes hot here. If you have ever stood under it (especially if you are tall like me) then you learn very quickly why it's called the boom.

I did a theme Boats with Masts(Cropped and Not) For most boat pictures I prefer seeing the whole mast, there are exceptions of which your picture is one. Boom is aptly titled and this is IMO an excellent shot focusing on the boom.
Looks like a nice boat!
Nicely captured!

LOL, what a funny note! You're right, I hope you ducked.

Great capture, I like the tight crop and POV.
