Contest Winners Week 16 – “Harbour/Yachtclub Photography”

[claudiaz]

I was overwhelmed by the number of entries this week, and so many stunning photos. What a difficult task it was to select the winner and finalists for this week's contest. Thank you so much to all of you who take part on a weekly basis as well as a big great thank you to all the new participants joining us every week.

Last week’s theme seems to be a popular one with many photographers as most people have at some time or another taken a photo of a harbour, yacht club or anything associated with it. I certainly received some stunning images, so let’s have a look at this week’s selection!

I took nearly 27,000 photos in 2017 and this one is probably my most favorite! But some of that is because i spent so long dreaming of being there for the moment. To have the moment come to pass - - - ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
