One of a long row of rowing boats on the River Wear, Durham. RAW conversion, monochrome conversion through channel mixer, overlay layer, smart sharpen, levels, some dodge and burn, resize, duotone. I also cloned out some small bits of dirt on the ground.
I really wish that I could be happy with my first edit - this is number seven and it's taken me ages!
POST-CHALLENGE:
Really pleased with the 6.5 score and a new PB - I wasn't expecting this to do that well at all. Thanks very much to everyone for the great comments.

This fully deserves the score it got - shame it didn't finish higher but that's high scoring challenges for you :-(
I particularly like the monochrome feel, the DOF, the detail on the ropes and chains on the right, the weathered flaky paint, and the patterns on the top. Great work!
