I like it too - would look great on a wall.

I like it too, simple but effective, no distractions.

Some could say about the 'rule of thirds'..... but what are rules for, if not to be broken in the name of photography.

Thanks for the feedback. It was a bit of a gray day up at North Berwick. Taken with a K-5IIs 18-135mm lens desaturated in Photoshop CC

I would be tempted to crop it at the bottom - sat about half way between the bottom and the horizon line. For me, that would give it a bit better balance. However, it stills works as it is as a minimalist image.

Thanks Phil, it's one to play about with, in the original the sail is a deep orange I'll proably try different crops and perhaps a "texture" in the sky.

Have you tried flipping it so the boat moves from left to right? I like the image as is, but might be intereting to fiddle a bit more!

really like this type of shot and it definitely would look good on a wall. i also wonder how the opposite would look ,very mysterious as film noire
odd lens or 2

I think it's really striking and effective. The flag being almost fully unfurled is a nice little feature too. I find it quite evocative of the bygone era of sailing fishing boats.

I like this a lot!
K5, K200 and several film Pentax cameras!

Super idea. I puzzled with the bottom part for a while as the half and half horizon is slightly taken over by the detailed bottom half. A bit cropped off might help?
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass
