The week-end started . Time to enjoy some time off!

Since I did not post too many shots from our last vacation in Cuba , I tought I would post you a fast one today.

It was here 12:30hrs . Martine left me for her appointment with Marco at the gazebo de masaje . I took this opportunity to have a walk on the promenade along the cliff to capture a few shots.

The catamarans just left the beach with new crews . They will come back in about twenty minutes to leave again at the the hour. That day was quite good. Enough wind to be fun, and speedy . Unfortunately , they have the habit to close activities quite rapidly, putting the red flag. Then the skippers are just waiting at the beach the end of the day , helplessly....

Technically: Cropped the left side. Rotated slightly, Resized. Reduced slighly the luminosity. Adjusted levels. Resized, Sharpened with Neat Image, framed and titled.

Have a great weekend!

Robert

I used to sail a wee bit and I love boats-on-the-water shots. Vibrant colours, some good detail and a great feel of the breeze carrying the cats along.

Nice shot with a good, happy feel about it - well done!

Beautiful colours...I don´t have words. I´ll be in Cuba on July 23th. I´ll hope share some pictures with every body.
thanks for share. Mary

Hi Perry,

Cheers

Very nice and colorful Robert.
This really brings out the vacation feeling for me!
Nice weather, wonderful blue sea and the sails on the water... just fine to me, that's all I need...

:-)
Cheers,
Anneke

hi Robert,
very zesty colours !
The composition has lovely symmetry - with the sails on the left niceley complemented and balanced by the more distant white ones.. and all having more or less the same angle of inclination :)

Well done and best regards.
Daniel

Hi Robert ! Superb composition on this very impressive shot ! It looks like you 'arranged' the alignment of the boats ! :-) Pretty colors and very good sharpness. Well done !

Mario

Excellente capture. Bonne netteté et détails.
Y'a pas à dire, mais la mer de Cuba est des plus impressionnantes.
Pierre

The colorful boat in front was as if you ordered it for the shot. It contrasts well with the other ones with white sails. The color of the water and sky is just incredible!
Cheers

Hello Robert

I see that his trip to Cuba, was very well taken advantage, with great sceneries and rich in the details. The landscapes are incomparable, until it seems that transport us to this place.
Congratulations for the beautiful and rich visual!

Thanks also for your comments on my photo "My Angel (26)" :o)

As always, I'm amazed by the quality of Your photo and at the same time I'm a little bit sad, because I'll never be able to reach this level. This is again one of Your "100 out of 100" level photos. Excellent.
