A sailboat on the lake at Te Anau, South Island, New Zealand.

So microscopic! Quite an original photo. I like that dominant dark blue background.

I like that you named it sailboat. I like how it draws the eye to focus deeper into the picture. I like that the sailboat, the "subject", is so small that it juxtaposes the massiveness of the landscape.

I even like that despite it's size I don't have to try very hard to find the boat, which actually just makes me appreciate the deep blues against the tiny stark white speck of the boat.

If this were named "mountain" or "NZ seascape" or something, I'd be like "Oh nice! Wait, what's that white thing? Is that a sailboat? Why didn't they wait for it to pass, or zoom in on it?" By making the sailboat the titles "subject", I'm free to notice and ignore it, except as a contrast to the massive landscape.

This is a great title and great shot.
