Beautiful shot! Nice work thinking outside the square. I hope that other people don't mark you down for it because they don't understand it. Good luck.

I think this photo would look superb if you were to use an impressionist affect to make it look like a painting. I think the background is very inclined to such...

Nice composition, especially with the old truck in there.
A little tilted (level the roof lines) and perhaps a slightly smaller (and black) border would look a little better in my opinion.

With the truck there, it doesn't really look abandoned, but merely run down.

My initial comment was that I saw no tacks in this image. Since I've lived in the center of a continent all my life, the sailing reference was initially lost on me. Hopefully the voters won't penalized you too much for your alternative interpretation of the topic.

I can't decide whether I like the way this image is cropped . I'm inclined to say that there should be more sky, but the reflection of the mast adds a nice balanced feel to the image. Moving the waterline to the center of the frame would have increased the balance, but that might just add too much negative space. Anyway, thanks for adding variety to the challenge.

I've been sailing for years and would loved to have taken this angle on the challenge. Kinda out of the box for those who don't sail. I hope you're not getting nailed(pardon the pun) because people expected physical, metal tacks. Nice image (9)
