Having fun at sailing, trying to capture the emotion of it.

CxC welcome, thanks for watching

I like the "being part of the action" look. There's a sense of competition that's rarely seen in youth sailing. Where was it?

Well done!

Thanks for your comments Francois,

That was a practice day for a sailing Club of the Melbourne area  (Australia). The group went to a reservoir about 150 Km North-West of Melbourne. Its name is Cairn Curran Reservoir.

I was fortunate to be in the officers boat, so the sailboats passed quite close to it, allowing the use of a wide angle.

Regards

Agreed. Great immediacy to this image. I can almost feel the spray.
