Wow love the tones in this beautiful scene with the sailboats the main focus, the bird on the water in front and more boat in the midground. Great sense of scale, Ruwan. Are you a surgeon?

Thanks. Such a good thing, this hobby of ours. We could continue to revisit places we have been and we can also see places we may never visit.

fabulous color - excellent detail - the execution is perfectly done and the serenity of the composition is preserved by the seeming motionless sailboats

This is like a painting. Excellent format (dimensions) of the presentation as well!

I love the cradle notion and I love the image; one of the few styles of sailing craft that has remained basically unchanged for eons.... :)

Thanks so much. Yes it's hard to escape the feeling that ancient people were doing the same as we were.

Wonderful light . . . "It is the economy of subject that is the most universally understood". Well done.
