Judges Comment

This picture shows the elements. Water, air, the sky and the boat united by the same force - wind, or the lack of. There is a strange calmness in this picture and strong contrast on the other side. Blacks are deep and whites are bright. Composition follows aesthetically the "rule of thirds”. Is there a storm coming to disrupt the peace? The clouds and the boat’s destiny are infinitely connected.

Photographers Comment

Thank you for the award and comments ! Started photography few years ago, particularly interested in quality of light in photography and how that can affect the subject and mood. I only use available light and wanted the best reproduction in my images so i went for Leica. The image above was taken on a summer afternoon at Washington, DC marina, after a long wait for the proper light to fill in the atmosphere in order to create the contrast between the boat and stormy background . Taken with Leica DLux 5 . Thanks again !
