Hoisting the mainsail at Whiterock lake in Dallas.
Pre-challenge notes:
I think this is likely worth a mid-5, but also figuring in a few low votes from those that say the x is not prominent enough, and I am guessing this comes in between my average and a 5 1/2
Anticipated critiques:
-X is not prominent enough or is not the main subject.
-Haloing or artifacts. (looks ok on my monitor after cleanup, but I suspect some monitors may show something)
-Should have cropped less and not cut off subjects feet. (And then the X would be less prominent)
Post challenge notes:
Well, I was correct about one of the critiques, but the shot itself was not strong enough to overcome it. Between the "not prominent enough" and "boring" votes, I was lucky to come in over a 5. I really can't argue about this one.

The X is kind of a stretch here. Good composition, though I would've liked to see more of the land (at least I think it's land... the trees on the bottom left?), or none at all.
