I didn't vote in this challenge but would have given this at least a 6. The colors are very nice. The surf is lively. Even the clouds are cooperating. Good job!

Love the color of the water and the clouds. Bear would probably tell you your horizon is just a bit off, and I'm not sure how well this met the challenge in voters' eyes (I didn't play in this one), but the shot does have a mystical feel to it. If anything, I'd say the surf is a bit too bright for the rest of the shot, but that's the way the surf tends to be.

I gave you a 7 on this shot. I actually liked it alot. May have not been a perfect fit challenge wise but it is a good composition. Theboat is framed in nicely by the funky clouds and the surf. The surf might be a bit blown out but not a biggie here. The colors are pleasingly odd (in a small way odd) and the NI works well on this one. I think you were robbed here.

Not as sharp as it could be.

I don't see how this photo conveys mystery or magic. How would I know that's the ship's name? Aside from that, it's a decent image, although it would benefit from better focus and contrast. 3.

To me the exposure or processing is off a tad. The surf looks too gray to my eyes. Composition is nice. I'm afraid one point off for relying on the title. 5.
