Closest Point Of Approach

Variety is the spice of life, so I'm changing from tulip fields into the salty environment.

This time an addition of my pilot-series: the Dutch pilot tender 'Lynx' in action off the coast of the peninsula Walcheren, Zeeland, The Netherlands.

PS: referring to the title: the Closest Point of Approach (CPA) is the closest distance that two vessels can come to each other (to avoid a collision, ☺ ) calculated based on their current course and speed.

** calculated based on their current course and speed.**

Which means...."Get out the way", or else!! ... ☺

Wonderful 'action' shot old mate, that boat is really thundering along!.

Excellent shot. Clear and vibrant and can see and feel the motion of the waves.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

The boat is cutting through some rolling waters with a lot of power, creating quite a wake in its path. This kind of action shot, to me, captures a kind of excitement.

I'm hoping you were using a telephoto lens and that you weren't in a row boat. If you were kayaking when you shot this, I hope your camera is waterproof.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
