The light was just right to glow on the water and back light the sails

Nice composition! Great flow from the buoy to the boats!

Nice capture. Looks like an evening club race.

Wat a calming, and beautiful scene. Conveys really well what is great about sailing.

The water is superb! I've seen bright lights on water, but this is a unique one for me.
Angky.

Agree with every thing said. The light on the water is special and creates a nice tone for the scene.

What an incredibly gorgeous and serene setting. Could not ask for better conditions. Many thanks for posting.

It was a club race but at 11AM, I think the lighting was caused by a break in the cloud layer with the sun reflecting off the water then back down off the clouds.

I just noticed that the shot was taken in Michigan; where was it taken? I'm curious, since we sailed Saginaw Bay and Lake Huron during the years we lived in Michigan.

Interesting. My wife and I took a demonstration sail on Lake St. Clair on a new boat we were considering. It was a long time ago, but I remember that the test sail was associated with Detroit In-The-Water boat show back in the '80s.

Very nice image with outstanding lighting. The shimmering water in contrast with the darker sky makes a very nice palette for the sail boats.
