Probably the best focus work in the whole challenge and everything else in the photo is perfect. The only downfall I can see, for me anyway, is that the 'subject' seems to be 'People' more then it does a 'Boat'. I'm still going high with a 9.

Interesting story in this. I can see concentration, fun, concern, struggle, triumph, teamwork...and that is all inside of the boat.

Okay, this I like... sharp, clear and, most of all, realistic. I really get the feeling that I'm there with them. Perfect choice of processing (or not processing, maybe) for this photo. :) 9

Very nice. A wider DOF would have made a better story perhaps or perhaps not. Love the colors contrasting with the foam
