This was a picture of a houseboat being transported through Amsterdam's harbor. It has been cropped and distorted to make the houseboat 'square' enough.

I think the boats adn the thing they are pushing/pulling need to be a little more to the right, it looks like they are getting ready to run out of the frame. The blue structure at the top really grabs attention, but it also becomes a focal point for the eyes, distracting from the lower part of the frame. Don't know if that was intentional or not.
Beautiful photo. If not a house boat, what is it. Great photo with beautiful focus and clarity. I really like the angle the photo is taken at. It's a 10 for me.
Composition: Too much water at the bottom?
Technical: Good colour/brightness
Meets challenge: Pushing it a little I think!
Overall impression: Good subject, but lacking a little tech. 6
Wow what an interesting picture! For me this was one to the top two this week. Those boats look so unusual. I am wondering did you compress the image to make the house a square or was it really like that. The way the boats look leads me to think it was, but if you did compress it, you did a good job because it isn’t so compressed to be blatantly obvious. Those boats look like something from a cartoon. You made good use of contrast here, with your subject being much brighter than the surrounding picture. I also find myself enjoying the blue in the tower. They both stand out very well on what looks to have been a dreary day. I don’t know if this would have been possible but the only think I might try if I were to change this picture would be to crop it so the boats had some more water in front of them to go into. Overall I think you had strong composition here with the lines of the land drawing my eyes into the picture with the blue and white squares there to catch my attention and hold it.
