 I know, some will say the boat's not the main subject, but we call those big old cars "boats" too, right? :)

It's not a shoehorn, it's just opening the lid of the box!

But how seaworthy is it?

Unfortunately the car is the focal point of this shot. But hey, really nice car.

Love the car. Love the boat. Nice touch to have the guy sitting on the wall. I find bisecting OOSTERDAM with the roof of the car, and the car setting at an angle very distracting (at least the combination of the two - with the bisection being the most disturbing). Nice lighting.

two boats!

Such a sweet photo but the focus is too much on the car. Which looks super sweet for sure!

It's a car... Oh! Wait! Now I see it... there is a boat!
Now what... It's a dutch boat. That can't be a coincidence.

Nice shot, the guy in the back left is somewhat distracting but other than that its a solid capture. Love the lighting on the Chev! 8

Being up on a ladder or something and looking down on the car just enough to have the name of the boat clearly showing above the car roof would have been a tremendou improvment.

Subject is not a boat, goes past challenge rules. That takes it down a bit, I like though. 5/10

LOL! Yes, that is indeed a "boat", though I fear there will be voters who don't see it as such. Lovely, well-kept boat, too.

Great double meaning to in the title,

the '57 Belair grabs all the attention of the viewer here.

hey! you stole my land yacht idea! But did a better job than I did lol. 8

Good play on an idiom.......very clever.....the '57 as subject takes away from the ship, but it works.

Very clear, very bright, great colour on the car. Your focus is more on the car instead of the boat, but I suppose some people call these big old cars boats, don't they?

Nice Chevy. Odd choice for a boat theme (and I did get the cruising tie in). Cut off ship name and odd man kind of detract from the impact.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/26/2008 08:51:02 PM
alright, which one is the boat? :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Looks like you were at a cruise ship terminal. I would have liked to see something with the main subject being the ship and not the car.

LOVE the car in a big way! But it does take away the focus from the topic: Boats!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Ooooooh, nice '57! Oh, there's a boat in the picture? Oh yeah! Nice shot.

Nice, nice !

is this about the car or the boat in the background?
