May the wind always be from behind and fill your sails. Lovely shot.

Man, you are brave hanging out that high. Greate angle. Good job!

I like how the sails not only stand out against the deep blue water, but how they lead my eye up the photo.

I like the color of the water, not sure about the composition of the sails in the frame.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Very nice. I like the contrast of the white sails with the darkness of the water.

Very different perspective of a sailing vessel. Love the parallel lines of the sails, and the reflections / texture of the sea. Hold on tight, You don't want to fall from up there.

I afraid heights. Well done.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 12:03:10 PM
Kind of an odd composition, but interesting. The four sails in a row draw me in, the sail off to the left corner distracts me a little but not much you could do about that I would imagine.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 09:59:26 AM
I think this photo could benefit from a stronger composition.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

You climbed all the way up there? I only might move it a bit more off center.

03/11/2009 06:33:58 PM
This is a very unique perspective!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 05:11:38 PM
Now here's a perspective not many of us ever get to see! An awesome view from there and one I suspect you very much enjoy.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 05:06:49 PM
Oh my, get me down! Get me down! ;) This is a spectacular shot. Such an unique perspective and handled very well considering the location!

Gota give ya props on the perspective... very cool..
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 03:59:00 PM
Let the winds gather in your sails and take ya to some beautiful locals with golden beaches and lush tropical vegetation. And if you have a fear of heights just don't look down from the crow's nest:-) Look forward. Glad I can enjoy the view from the safety of the ground. I like how the white of the sails contrast wonderfully off of the deep, deep blues of the ocean waters. Tis a shame though that the same breeze that was billowing the four bottom sails also blew the top one into the scene that can be seen in the lower bottom left corner. The composition improves even more had that not been there because then it becomes a study in appealing shapes and colors as the billowing triangles cut across the cobalt blue waters.

great colors and textures nice shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 12:39:46 PM
what a fun perspective. I would have liked to see the flags to the side of the photo or maybe a diagonal so they weren't smack dab in the middle of the picture, it makes the composition less interesting I think.

Really nice perspective and colors.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 08:05:13 AM
great color in the water. Right from the top left through the bottom right. Yeah, it's a bit on the strong side, but fits nicely with the white sails.
