But... looks more like a boat to me. What a fabulous wreck.

I've had to look a fair few of these idioms up - this is another US-centric one that I had never heard. Super photo - quite a find!

Nice colors in the sky. Wish the foreground was a bit brighter, but it works.

I like the pun but am not sure about the euphemism. The photo, uneuphemistically, is effective

I like the idea, but the title isn't something that quite blends with the subject. Maybe something along the lines of "Where lies the land, to which the ship would go?" which is from a short form poem written by Arthur Hugh Clough. Like the picture though - nice tonality, good composition even if it is a little more centered than it should be. A little different angle maybe? Anyway, it's worth high marks just for the technical aspects. Nice.

Beautiful. Love the colors. The rusty colors of the boat and grass against the vibrant sky is lovely. The sharpness and detail is there. One of my favorites! 10

Lovely sky. Too bad the ship didn't have a woman's name as well!
