A last minute entry for me in this challenge. That's not to say I wasn't trying. I think I took photos of about a dozen different subjects for this challenge, and I was never very happy until I got this one less than 3 hours before rollover.
These colorful boats live at Wingra Park in Madison. It's a boat rental place with all types of boats in every color imaginable. I have gotten a number of cool photo from this place. This one I was actually heading out trying for some sunset colors, but I left just a bit late to get those in my frames. Luckily, with a nearly full moon, I still had a great opportunity to create some cool photos, and I really enjoy the outcome here.

Great colors and lines. I like the chains in the foreground. I am a little less sure about the orange prow that seems to draw my out of the frame, but overall it is very pleasing.
