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
