    Yacht in the spotlight

    I took this yesterday on my cellphone, following a suggestion by my wife, as the scene was quite moody and interesting. Then the magic happened and the sun broke through the clouds a bit.

    Just right because another ten seconds later the image would have have gone.

    Fantastic. You, the sun, and the boat all in the right place at the right time. Moments like this sure can’t be planned. Well done.

    Stunning capture and the kind of serendipidous shot that makes up for all the 'nearly' ones

    ps If my late wife had advised on the shot she would have been demanding a slap-up meal out afterwards as a 'finders' fee!

    When I first looked at it I thought it was Photoshopped. That was before I read your statement. Some moments are meant to be experienced and photographed. This was one of them.

    Great image, I think the b+w version takes the prize.
