Race start (XVI): De Gallant Photo

Photographer’s Note

To continue with the smaller ships, three views of the Dutch schooner De Gallant, already posted in Part I when she was on the way to Fedge, here.
The three pictures have been taken at diffeent moments, and show the ship in different positions relative to us.
I have chosen the main post not because of the sharpness, which is average compared to workshop 2, but because of the general impression it gives of the ship under full sails.
Workshop 1 is not to good and was taken before, workshop 2 is the best in terms of shaprness but more classical.

How sad that we don't see boats such as this in all the world's harbours anymore. Thanks for sharing!

Another very nice catch, when we feel like traveling to some romantic years. The boat is very beautiful as usual in this class. I like a lot the photo in the workshop showing the way to Fedge, where the sea is beautiful and it is just a pity the boats are going and not coming. Excellent photos!
Regards,
Zeca

Bonjour Emmanuel,

Tu as ici mis plus particulièrement en évidence la taille, la grandeur de ce magnifique voilier en utilisant le format vertical ce qui lui permet d'occuper - grâce au cadrage opportun- la quasi totalité de l'espace disponible dans l'image. Le marin sur la gauce, qui ressort bien grâce à son vêtment rouge, permet également d'apprécier l'échelle du bateau. Bon travail encore une fois.
Amitiés,
Roger

I think this one is the more dynamic: it conveys in some way the sense of movement. Furthermore I like how it fills almost completely the photogram so that it has more imponence. I like also the image N° 1 in the ws - I can't see lack of definition... maybe my eyes are not as good...
Best greetings,
Donato

Bonjour Emmanuel,
I particularly like the light and framing here.
