Did you actually get to sail on the Bluenose II?
Always find it interesting on how peoples tastes are different. I like the third picture more.
It looks like the mast may hit bridge, this to me is drama which always adds that extra umph to the picture (I know its only an illuison) The color of the sky seperating the white from the bridge is also appealling as well as the bridge not being parelle with the frame.
