Great job! I love black and white photos, and this one is executed very nicely. The illusion of distance, with a hazy feel make this one extra nice. Just not as exciting as some of the other entries in comparison. But nice still. And thanks for submitting an entry that meets the challenge without causing me frustration in figuring out how. Raising original score from a 5 to a 6.
Would have been a stronger image, minus the man. Was this guy coming after his boat, thinking you were about to hop in? LOL Still makes for a nice image. 8
I don't know why but the curious man bit made me giggle so much...
Onto more serious stuff I think the pic's biggest problem is the contrast. A little more light on the boat would have evened it out a bit.
