Good Morning Everyone,

This is my contribution to the Faceless Portrait Theme.
It is very much a portrait of desire!

I saw this young man, gazing longingly at the beautiful boats when we were on holiday in the S. of France. His body language told such much about his feelings! I just couldn't resist taking a quiet shot.

I must admit, the incredible yachts left many, myself included, wishing that someone would invite us onboard and take us on a quick sail around the bay, glass of champagne in hand!

I haven't changed the hues or saturation, the colours really were so beautiful. Cropped slightly and sharpened.

Many thanks for your interest.
Please feel free to feedback on any aspect of the photograph. Bev :-)

Wishing or dreaming.

I thought the sky was unusual for England - but see it is in the south of France. Yes, awesome colours Bev.

And what a lot of $$$$s must be tied up there in that marina

Good one for the theme

Hi Beverley

Wonderful repetition of the yachts & their masts with superb reflections in the water. Good sharpness & colour. Tfs!

It's a dream for many people to have a boat of their own but it's not mine...i've got other dreams haha.
Well seen Bev and it's a sharp, colourful photo.
a fine contribution.

regards, willemien

Day Dreaming of a fortun, maybe ?
Nicely captured, Bev.
I think I stick to cars. Boats like this, makes me seasick, haha
Regards, Jan

I like this Bev! There is a slight tilt, but it adds to this wide angle shot. The water reflecting the sky is a really nice blue, good job catching this shot!

Hi Beverley,

I like this, a nice composition with beautiful colors, sharpness and reflexion. The person looking over the water, in mind, makes it a good contribution to the theme.

Hi Bev,
The hope thoughts of this young boy are so well rendered here! I like your subject and it is well accorded with the Friday theme! The brightness of colors must be at the same level of the wishes of your subject! The dream is a good way to travel too! Bravo! Annie

Hi Bev
Looking at these boats will have anyone wishing.
Great colours that befit the shot that you caught.
I can't help notice that there is a halo around the young man. Using the sharpening tool will cause this, you need to reduce the transparancy to quite low.

Hello Bev,
Perfect composition and color tones. Goodusing of rule of third here.

Hi Bev,
A really calm and relaxing pier scene with nicely saturated colours and an interesting pattern in the background made by the parking sailboats. Creative contribution the the Friday Theme, nice faceless capture of this young man. The composition suggest loneliness to me, though. TFS.
Have a great upcoming week!
Greetings,
Kristof

WOW Bev there are hundreds of masts, excellent photo and suits the theme well, well photographed
