Not that anyone is going to read this but I took this photo at a huge festival. There were tons of people around so it was very hard to get a shot without people in it. I had a split second with this one before people walked into the shot. I'm guessing I sholdn't have even bothered and wondering if I should ever bother entering any of these challenges again.
Aww .. come on .. don't take it that hard .. sometimes it takes a bit more work and doesn't come as easily. The other images in your portfolio are outstanding.(I love the bird claws).

Good subject to illustrate the challenge. I'm thinking with all those yachts, there must have been a more interesting angle to shoot from that didn't have all those distractions like ropes and posts and other boats. I think you could have done better. Because of it's strong relation to the challenge, 6
Great idea for an indulgent subject. But which yacht is the subject? Composition could be improved, as this is too busy for me, without a clear focal point.
Meets the challenge, but there's a slight blue overtone that makes the lighting seem off. Also the blown highlight on the boat to the right is distracting. Looks like a gorgeous day, though!
What's the focal point of the image ? I see 5 yachts but none is really a subject in this picture.
Perhaps a view from another vantage point would have been better.
This looks a bit too busy for my liking; it ends up just being a jumble of boat shapes without carrying a lot of impact - either in terms of sheer size or luxuriousness. I think this is a case where "less is more" - if you could isolate one of the yachts, particularly a large one (with something else to give a reference point for size) then it would work better. Other yachts in the background would be ok, but these are too mixed up together.
