Nice choice Geoff :up:

Thanks Geoff and thanks to all who have commented. It's always a thrill to receive a PotW gong!

Sometimes when you take a photograph you know immediately that it is a great image. This was NOT the case here!
I took a series of shots of the boat as she manouvred for mooring. When I looked at them later, most were very bland.
But for some reason this image had those almost luminescent sails - they must have been perfectly positioned for the light. As a bonus, the photograph is as sharp as a tack while some of the others in the series were not.

Cheers
TFF (Trevor)

referring to the sharpness etc ya gotta view this full size, the forum resized version does not do it justice!

Well done Trevor but why was it cropped? The original is so much better :up:
