Bleeding Sailor

Every New Zealander knows what I am talking about. This sail is bleeding with blue blood. If you want to know more, google Dean Barker – He is a sport gentleman and his heart is bleeding right now. I sincerely wish him well.
Today is a perfect day for me to enter the ETSOOI (edit the s...out of it) challenge , in this case ”s…” stands for sadness. This is based on a sailing boat’s refection.

Yes, today was a sad day indeed. I like the topical nature of your picture. The different blues are striking.

Pi love what you say - ditto ditto! This looks a dark side of yachting- the mast has split.....lol! This is a good picture for us NZers! We do have a great yachting history and we will always be so!

Beautiful shot of this reflection and very well seen. Love the colours and treatment.

[Pamela]

I am with you on this. A wonderful team with a great spirit. Let's hope it carries on into a brighter picture.

我昨天去园博园了，都把我累瘸了也没走多少地方，虽然是人造的微缩景观，但可拍摄的题材太多了。挺过瘾的

oh my goodness this is such a moving portrayal of what we are all feeling for poor Dean.

[Cheri]

Love this and so sorry about the race!

[Custodia Baptista]

Love the processing, sorry the race...

[Babs]

What a beautiful but sad picture.

[Angela Tavan]

I think this is a beautiful tribute! love your editing!

[Sharon Simpson]

You've done a great job creating the mood with all the blues! A very emotional capture!

I am picking up from all my NZ friends' posts that your team must have lost the Cup race? I'm sorry but your loss has brought out a beautiful picture!

[Yao RL]

@olivetreeann I would rather taking the photo of Dean Barker holding the cup and parade our street – we were so close.

[Kareen King]

Fav! Love how this turned out!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@yaorenliu forgot to tell you I fav'd this. Maybe that will bring a little cheer.

[Ksenia]

Oh dear! I was disturbed by such news and even checked NZherald to find out what's up! And I was really glad to know that everyone is okay! :)
Anyway, I like your picture(there are sails in it, so I like it) and interpretation.

Wasn't it heartbreaking? Great shot.
