 I would have tried to come up with something more original but this was a last minute entry and was probably better than skipping the challenge!

Not a heck of alot of purple in the photo but its a good one none the less. The name and the boat look oversharpened.

Nice picture, but I probably would have cropped more of the water out

did you also mean for us to interpret the water to be purple? It seems to me that the sky should be the focus, I could be wrong, but if so, why not fill the frame with it instead of the ship & water? B/c the sky looks so dramatic is exudes coming turmoil much like the book.
