Wow!! What a fantastic photo. Fit with theme is outstanding. Very dynamic composition. Focus and clarity of the sails is terrific. Depth cueing with the haze adds to the sense of distance. Top 10 for sure.

Very cool photo. Your focus, detail, and DOF are great. I think maybe some slight cropping to frame the subjects tighter may have helped? But tha'ts only personal taste. Nice capture nonetheless.

Very nice, great DOF and color. Have you considered cropping so the subject would be off center.
