[Leica] BOATING PAD #14 - Why Powerboaters Hate Sailors

[philipprice80 at yahoo.com (Philip Price)]

Hi Dick, I belong to a photographic society here, ( UK ) and we have monthly 
competitions which are always keenly contested, our regular club membership 
is 70 /80 members. I regularly enter prints, with it must be said varying 
degrees of success ! Over the years I have learnt to anticipate what the 
judge will like or not like, believe me some of them can be pretty ferocious 
with their comments ! I do love the drama in your shot but I know the judge 
in a competition would probaly comment on those rocks. 

As an amateur though I listen, and then go out and do the same thing again, 
after all its for my pleasure not some judge who is definitely not on my 
Christmas card list !!!

Happy snapping Phil.

Well, that's interesting.? I had thought that the rocks and distant shore 
added to the drama by emphasizing the narrowness of the channel in which all 
this drama was occurring.

Thanks for commenting.


Regards,

Dick
