One of my top three. The only things that bother me are the crop on the right and the left. Cutting off the boats is usually not a good thing. I love the border and the tones in this image. One of my top three. 10

Wonderul take on the challenge. I am not sure if the washed out sky works here, it pulls the readers eye too much instead of focusing on the sailboats.

Interesting composition. I love how the boats will the frame.
Your toning is very nice as well.

nice treatment to the image, just a little detail in the sky maybe would have helped or a trighter crop?

I like high contrast but this is pumped up a bit too high even for me. Sky lacks detail to the point that it almost looks unatural against the richness of tone and contrast below. Like the content though.

This looks like too much contrast, but a beautiful capture.
