Those sails look awfully small for a vessel that size ... where was this taken? Reflection on the water came out well and is well-placed.

I was trying to figure out from the thumbnail how you could get the whole arc like that when I realized that the high latitude changes the arc and moves it far lower in the sky than I'm used to seeing. Great shot!

Hahaha I use envelopes I find lying around too! While I agree that a tighter crop would help a lot, one also has to be careful of running afoul of the DPC "other art" rule, so including some background is a good idea.

Starting with this frame, I'd crop top, bottom, and left, leaving just a little room around the sign and including the tree to the right, making it about a 2:1 panoramic, and with the arrow pointing off towards the "empty" area. You could take off the "Closed" sign, but if left on I'd title it Serendipity -- NOT! or something similar ...

Too bad you couldn't get in to shoot the stained glass.

How dare you try and represent an abstract concept? :)
Nice strong diagonal and contrasting color ... good luck!

Looks like someone was just starting a Tic-Tac_Toe game. Nice combination of patterned and random elements.

I think I'd have cropped a bit tighter, especially on the sides, maybe even into a vertical panorama.

I like the combination of strong straight lines and sweeping arcs.

Hmmm ... I wonder if this violates site TOS on "depicting acts of sex?" :)
Very creative ...

I don't think a "blue ribbin photo" has one a blue ribbon yet, but this is a pretty good try. :)

Looks very watercolor-like, with very soft -yet-bright colors. Nice job!
