I decided to interpet the challenge specifically as an odd numbered subject - not as an unusual subject. I may be penalized for it, but three is an odd number and I thought it was cool how these three sailboats were all lined up ready for a small regatta. The early morning light caught my eye and the low angle provided a bit of interesting perspective - i hope the voters agree. Figuring about 5.5-5.8....
