Oh my... just look at that stunning lighting you captured in the water dear Felicia.... :-) You composed the shot nicely using the rule of thirds with your subject. ;-) fv

Thank you so much, Nick, for your profesionally comment! For me it was the moment important. They had to fight against the waves to maintain the balance of the boat... and it was a little bit cold... but beautiful :)
