What an awesome photo! Who would have thought a 7.003 could end up in 8th place!! Tells you what a tough competition this was. Congratulations on being one of the best in this competitive challenge!!!

This is better then I I could have hoped for. Finishing with a 7.003 is fantastic. I will be posting a few of the outtakes from this "Boat" series. Some turned iout just as good or better but with a little extra post processing (IE: Removing palm leaves) that I could'nt do in the original submission.
The reason the palm leaves were in (as many pointed out) was due to the fact that I was trying to hide the frighter behind the palm tree - I must have done a good job since nobody mentioned it - if you look close you can see it sticking out on either side of the tree trunk on the horizon line.

Great job! I found this to be one of my favorites in this challenge because I feel part of the setting, I love the sky, the colors in it are just gorgeous. I love the subtle-ness of the water, being a minor part of the whole scene, but works so beautifully. I love the movement in the sand, it's as though a million feet have danced on that beach. And I love the solitude that is created by the boat and single palm tree. I gave this a 9, because it met the challenge 100% in what my idea of a beach shot should be. I'd give you a 10, but it wasn't my favorite out of all of the shots.

Nice clouds. I don't like the branches of the other tree but that's the only negative thing I see.
