Nico, thanks for your encouragement. This is my first entry to this challenge and it is good to find some old friends here. Julie

I'm glad you felt a bit edgy for a while about the perspective. You are correct, the yachts are models. I wonder whether the word 'maritime' refers to lakes as well as sea? I had thought of Maritime first off, then changed my mind. Thanks for your comments. Julie

I like the way the immediate illusion is that the boats are all life-size which makes the perspective seem slightly disturbing. Then, when you realize that the boats on the water are all models, it makes sense which is kind of a relief :) This could also work for Challenge 52: Nautical or others, I suppose. Jim H.

A most pleasing composition indeed. Well done, Julie. Love it! Regards jnconradie

Thanks Shu. The lack of wind on the day helped with the reflections. Julie

Beautifully balanced color and composition! (Boats don't line up too often to form a pleasing composition...) I also like the fact that the image is somewhat darker which emphasizes the whites in the pic. Lovely! shu

Thanks Thomasz, Tomi and Pops. I thought this may appeal to the 'boys who like toys'. Julie

Radio Control sail boats at that. Now that is the only kind of boat I'd like to own! Fun picture.
