Agree, although I'd have to take the "North Woods Journal" article IMO for
best photos accompanying an article (which is completely
subjective/personal in terms of choice).
On a side, there looks to be movement of the yatchs (the one in left
frame, perhaps vertically, and the one right edge, rolling?). But if the
left boat indeed moved during exposure (blurred body indicates so), why
are the masts perfectly sharp? Also, just me or the corners of the drames
appear darker (vignetting from wide angle lens+filter?)?
I'll email _NG_ and ask them :)
