What I like most about this shot is that it captured the transition moments from night to the day. In the left bottom side the yacht is lying in the peaceful landscape of the bay of Eze sur-mer (cote d’Azur - France) that is still illuminated by artificial lights as the dark clouds just above the horizon partially hide the dawn twilight. In the top right side Venus is shining next to reddish Mars, both high in the brightest part of the sky indicating that a new day is starting.
