Sailboat or fishing boat?, a photo from Aquitaine, West

Photographer's Note

A double photo taken from the Pointe du Cap Ferret with a view of the waters of the entrance to the Bassin d'Arcachon and of the sand mountain of the famous Dune du Pilat in the background.
A different detail on each view with a boat ... so your preference?
With a sailboat or a fishing boat as a focal point ... so, for me, the sight of the sailboat seems to me the most photogenic.

Bonjour Jean

They both look great but I prefer the sleek white outlines of the sailboat. Did you climb to the top of the bg sand dune? Good comparison of the 2 boats. Tfs!

Pozdrav.

Danas smo komsije sa fotografijama na TE.
Lepi pogledi, dobar tekst ...
Lepa priroda i trenutak sa jedrilicom i ribarskim brodom, dobro pokazano sa lepim bojama, kontrastom, perspektivom i uhvacenim trenutkom.
Dobar rad sa dve lepe fotografije.
Lepo mesto za odmor sa lepim pogledom.

Zelim vam lep dan za odmor, sve najbolje.

Bonjour Jean,
That is quite a nice collection of photos. Usually we see two different seasons or views towards the oppoite directions but here we have two visitors and they somehow add a different feeling to each of the photos. Fishing boat is more focused on the work while sailboat adds a relaxing touch.
Very well seen and captured,
M

Each picture has a beautiful contrast and a nice division from sand to blue water on the bay, Jean.
Same POV on different time, guess it was at same day. We can see people on the top of the far side dune.
Bon dimanche,
Ike

Ciao Jean, I like both two, sail and fishing boat, beautiful collage with a fascinating desert landscape, same POV, but different boats in the river, excellent clarity, wonderful natural colors and splendid light, very well done, my friend, ciao Silvio

Witaj Jean!
A very nice set of photos.
Excellent landscape, interesting place.
Good frames and color.
Sailboat or fishing boat add flavor to this composition.
I like it.
Well done.
Nice sunday.

Hello Jean,
The sailboat is definitely the most attractive, but the view of dark blue water between two areas of light brown sand is great for photos of any kind of boat. The horizontal shape is obviously the best choice.
Regards,
Gert

Salut Jean,encore une fois un collage genial, pour comparer la meme vue avec 2 bateaux differents,un choix pas facile mais je prefere le 2eme, qualite' top comme d'habitude. Bon Dimanche et merci,Luciano

Hello Jean,

I can honestly say that I don't have a preference, for the settings are identical and the crafts create different moods.
The sailing boat is sleek and smooth, gliding through the water, whilst the fishing boat conjures up a sense of determination and speed! Each serves its own purpose very well.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Bonjour Jean,

L'閠endue de l'endroit cr閑 de la profondeur. La prise de vue permet de voir les d閠ails du voilier, du bateau de p阠he et de la dune du Pilat. La lumi鑢e fait ressortir les couleurs. Bonne journ閑.

Hello Jean,

Two different boats taken on the same place.
An very well composition, nice presentation too.
Nice done, TFS.

Have a nice Sunday,
John.

Gerrit (62042) 2021-12-05 8:05

Hello Jean,
I ususally don't like such collages, but this one works very well and the composition is a very strong one. Works good.
Thanks and regards,
Gerrit

Bonjour Jean, I remember visiting the famous dune many years ago, so I am enjoying seeing it here from a different point of view. The people that we can see are the tiniest of dots as they walk on the sand.
I like both shots, but I agree with you, that the sailboat is the preferred craft.
Excellent sharpness.
Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards, Jean.

Hello Jean,
Two excellent photos of the gentle slopes of the impressive dunes in the background with two different vessels in the deep blue water in the foreground. Excellent idea to juxtapose them like this.

Hi Jean.
A dream place this entrance to the port, with the golden sands and the intense blue of the sea, the fantastic dune in the background, I like the photo with the sailboat better, it gives a more romantic touch.
A magnificent coloring that gives a lot of chromatic richness to the image.
Well done. I like it.
I wish you a pleasant week.
Very best regards.
Luis.

Hi Jean
The yacht maybe more photogenic but at least there should be a good feed from the fishing boat. A good pair of photos with that massive sand hill.
cheers
Ian

Hello Jean,
The sailboat is more elegant, but both are fantastic photos.

Hi Jean
The sailboat certainly makes the photo more photogenic than the other one with nice bit of dynamic sense. Great too how it creates so much more eye catching contrast to the environment.
Well done for compiling these
Best regards

COSTANTINO (116377) 2021-12-05 22:29

Bonjour Jean,
Les deux photos me rappellent l'Egypte et le Nil. Ce sont les arbres qui montrent que la photo n'a pas 閠� prise dans ce pays.
Le bateau de p阠he s'inscrit davantage dans le th鑝e de la vie quotidienne tandis que le voilier 関oque un sentiment de loisir et de d閠ente.
Amiti閟, Paul

Hi Jean,
Impressive pair of shots showing boats with the huge dune in the background. Omit the trees on the left and you could pretend this is Suez Canal. I agree the sailboat is more photogenic. The motor boat would need closer zoom to appreciate the details.

Hello Jean, Strange but the picture reminds me of the view of the Nile in Aswan, with the boats and the dune like in the desert. Nice duo of photos.

Best regards
