This is a great image. I could kick myself every time I get an hour away from a shot and realize the conditions are better.

Hi from the Critique Club!

What a great image!

This image has an unreal quality to it, it's almost too perfect:)) Those wonderful glass like reflections are almost as though you slipped a mirror below the boat, as the water is so smooth and flawless.

The lighting too, gives an unreal feeling; it's as if you picked up the boat and put it in a studio, so that you could have complete control of the lighting and colour:)) There is a gorgeous balance to the intensity of the lighting - with the brightest light being on the boat in the middle of the image, and then it gradually fades in intensity as you move away from the middle, at both the top and bottom of the composition. The lighting on the upper masts and sails looks as though it has been painted in oils;)

The whole image creates a feeling of calm and serenity, and as others have said, it's practically flawless, so there is little more I can add;)

Have a happy 4th of July. I wonder if people in countries outside the United States knows the meaning/significance of July 4th. If not, they may score lower than the photo deserves.

Very clever setup... and little glow in the dark stars so you knew where to stand... brilliant! Great double exposure shot! Thanks for taking the time to share the setup with the rest of us! Well done! :)
