 New Zealand Big Boat - KZ 1: Shipped back to New Zealand after the America's Cup, Sir Michael Fay offered the 'Big Boat' to the New Zealand National Maritime Museum in 1990. KZ-1 was placed on the quay and now dominates the Viaduct Basin, at the foot of downtown Auckland. Today, its mast points towards the sky and serves as a valuable mark to the pedestrian. KZ-1 remains today as one of the biggest racing sloops ever built to contest the America's Cup, and is a tribute to the boldness and know-how of New Zealand designers and boat-builders... more from the official website

This angle rocks. The textures in the lower part of the boat are really nice and the way everything else reaches and points skyward (toward both light and dark sky) is very alluring.

I recognised this boat during voting from your first image. I'm glad you persisted with this subject for another challenge. I like the composition and lines of this one better, and it has deservedly got a better score. Nicely presented with the black border and editing work too.

I absolutely love this. Everything about it... the lighting, the comp, the processing, AND the border (it just wouldn't have the same overall feel without it). I feel like I'm watching a really cool DVD with some awesome cinematography. What a great perspective! Well done - see you on the front page at roll-over :O)

rinac? A beautfully composed shot - excellent editing to bring out the shape and curve of the vessel.

Interesting POV.
I like the black banding to give it that cinematic feel

very cool shot. The letterbox really ads to the feel. What type of boat is this?

nice architectural image...I think the foreground is quite pronounced and distracting though 7
