A lot of votes, and this is the first one that I really like. Great use of flash fill for the front part.

You almost can't tell that this was actually a boat at one time, however, it definately is. This has got to be the winner for the week. The lighting is excellent...I love the colors and reflections of the beautiful water. Then, in contrast, is the ugliness of the boat or what is left of it. You show great detail of the peeling paint and the moss collecting on the surfaces of the portion in the water. I like the angle at which it was shot, with the back portion of the boat trailing off into the shadows. Very clean and well framed. What more can I say, but WOW 10+ My favorite for this challenge.

I love the colors in the water. It's mysterious, it leaves you open to wonder.

I like this image a lot but it's not going anywhere at least until it falls apart. 8

Very nicely done .. perhaps the shot should show a little more of the bow, but not all of it. One of my favs this week... -10

Great colors and composition. Top marks for having an interesting image with good exposure and not too much contrast.
