Wood Chris-Craft Boat Speeding Away

This is another photograph from the series we shot of the 1929 Chris-Craft wood boat.  Boats like this design have pleasing curves that are shown very well from this angle.  Plus, the line of the gunwale/rubrail from the transom to the bow adds a nice diagonal that makes the overall image more visually attractive.  The only drawback to this angle is that the overall length of the boat is not well shown.  Plus, there is some compression of the subject due to the long focal length of the lens.  But the background is quite clean and uncluttered so the boat shows well against the sky and water.
100-400 lens at 400mm, 1/1250 second at f/5.6, ISO 400.
