#3 is a home run (or should that be sail?) Incredible shot. A humungous portrait orientated canvas and you'll be set.

#1 works the best for me, it is spectacular.

I agree that #4 is the least impressive.

I agree with the others. These are great shots.

For me #3 is the winner, closely followed by #1. These are great profile shots of the ship under "full" sail.

The sky is a bit bright in #4, which lets it down I think. Not wanting to be picky, but the horizon is slightly out in #2.

#1 and #3 are amazing.... as with #2, #3 also has a small element of the yacht behind it, which I'd try and clone out.

Great work :bowdown:
