I secretly think you should have entered this in the Boats challenge; I liked it much better than your actual entry, but was somewhat too intimidated to speak against the consensus favoring the one you did enter. I hope this one gets closer to the score you deserve! If I voted on this, I'd have given it an 8.
I almost whizzed by this one but something caught my eye. Yes this boat looks to have a lot of personality. Love the colors. At first I thought it could be crisper and then the more I look at I am thinking no it is perfect just the way it is. Great subject glad I didn't just whizz by. Hope you do well.
