Thanks all for your comments... A day after the challenge was announced my lady asked if I would like to go to the island of Andros for the weekend... "Suuuuuure...that would be nice."

this is great, colors are awesome! i like sharp borders of silhouettes in the background and composition is really nice with little of center ship. nice work
This is beautiful! I love the gold tones. How lucky you are to see a scene like this with the sparkling water and the mountains in the background. Congrats on the top 10!
Nice! You certainly know your camera - or your Photoshop - or both. Beautiful light, perfect sense of depth, great crop, and the vessel has to be just there. But did it have to be that ugly? Where are the square riggers when you need them...?
Here's another one where the boat is a very small portion of the photo. But in your photo, to me, it is absolutely the main subject and not blown away by any other objects. Well done: 10
Peaceful shot. Honestly, I wish that you could have found a bird flying through, then brilliance! :) I know, you can't just wish for a bird and have one come winging through in exactly the spot you want it.
Nice golden glow to the whole shot with beautiful fading mountains in the background. My only wish is that the refection in the water wasn't so bright/white.
Cool shot, over blown in the center of the water, but great lines with background and what nice colors! The boat is not the main subject and this very good shot will hopefully make a good finish.
