Into the Spotlight
A boat sailing into the patch of sunlight.
Taken from the cliff tops at Kynance Cove on the Lizard Peninsula, Cornwall, England.

What a dramatic shot this is. I don;t often see skies as dramatic as this in UK based shots [maybe I need to move down South]. Beautiful Richard
Richard Veal replied
Many thanks PP.
I was waiting for ages for the boat to get into position, and was really lucky that the ‘beam’ was static, and didnt move one bit.
