This is where you can really get away with an underdone sky. Brings the focus to where it matters, the boats.

Seen large this pic is really something......

I miss my Isle of Whight holidays.......some of the best ever........for a few years we had use of a cliff top chalet overlooking the Needles......Can't go now, our creaky legs just can't cope with the mile or more woodland walk into Yarmouth IOW.

Cheers Chris, to be honest thats about all there was sky wise, the morning had been so stormy the were on the verge of canceling the event, but the water improved enough around lunch time they decided to go ahead, and the sky you see is the start of the lightening of the foreboding clouds?

Cheers Fuji, Its a fascinating Island I agree, the light is always changing along with the weather, but you are right, it can be a bit demanding on the old legs?

How did I miss this one ?...That is a stunning shot Geoff ...a real sense of movement ... love the colours too and the processing ..the little extra dodging on the red on the sail absolutely nails the image in my opinion ...... little things go a long way ..I love it .

Thanks Clicker,

Hell's bells! The large version looks superb, Geoff.
