Re: Jim Hemenway's request for Tiny URL links, I think I'll do it  
this time, too, not just in future postings.   Tiny URL links below.  
Let me know if these don't work.  Thanks.

Here are a couple of shots from a recent International S-Class race a  
few weeks ago in Buzzards Bay (that's Cape Cod Massachusetts, for  
those not in the area).  The first is a head-on shot that I think  
would be perfect if not for one thing and I'd like to know if you  
think that thing ruins it.

Here's a alternate taken literally a second later; more splash but  
less powerful, I think.

Finally, this is what these beautiful boats look like full length.   
They were sailing off Penzance  Point, a gated enclave at the far  
west of Woods Hole.  You can get an idea of the real estate values in  
the area by taking a look a the "Summer cottage" behind the boat.  It  
was a perfect sailing day, sunny for the most part and a nice stable  
Southwesterly at 10-15 knots.

All taken with the Pentax K10D and a manual-focus 200 mm Pentax-M  
lens, image stabilization off due to the rolling of the boat, f5.6 at  
1/2000th approximately, ISO 400.

Comments encouraged, indeed.
