Round The Island Race
The original photograph was taken in colour on a cold, damp, overcast, windy day at 5:40 AM, just after the start of the 2017 Round the Island Race at Cowes, Isle of Wight, UK. By converting it to monochrome, using Silver Efex Pro 2, I feel it has improved the overall impact.

That looks wonderful fun -- except for the little matter of getting up so early.
