 VitaminB and I went downtown to get a shot of the Toronto skyline. I was not happy with the results, so I suggested we go to the marina we saw on our way to the Air Show at the beginning of the month. I took a handful of photos of the marina before noticing the "X".

75 votes in, and my score is 7.0000. I am pleasantly surprised.

Post Challenge: I'm on a roll! Knowing there were 2 scores higher than mine in the scoring thread, I was sure LalliSig would bump me to fourth, so to win a ribbon is a little surprising. Thanks to all who took the time to vote and/or comment.

Wonderful colors, and surprisingly sharp (I'm assuming a long exposure here, especially with the deep DOF). Speaking of DOF, great DOF. The X doesn't jump out at me in the large image, but it does in the thumbnail, but that's probably because I tend to see the details in the large one and the overall image in the thumbnail. 9

I like this, Great idea. The marina is a bit busy looking but I understand that it is not your fault, nice job and good eye. This should make top ten.
