Taken from a rib travelling at 11 knots. The biggest problem was trying to keep my 300 zoom steady. Adjusted a few levels, a bit of sharpening and here it is. Photographs like this can't be composed, just take it as it is!

Great image. It's a fairly original perspective and gives great feel for the action. I love sailing (I go out maybe 5 times a year) and this is dead on for me. 8
sorry if i'm jumping on, but the first thing that hit me was the tilted horizon. not as much as for the tilt, but for seeing just how much more dynamic the image would have been.
Nicely composed, (tough lighting to shoot in) color a bit prosaic. Sharpest part of photo appears to be the water at the back of the boat (shallow DOF?). ---
Hmmm, you must not have been in the lead to have taken this shot. I suppose you took it just before passing them, right? LOL
I like this, nice action shot....however I find the wonky horizon really distracting. I feel it would be much better if you straightened it. still like it though....nice water.
