This looks like it could have been taken in Malta.
I saw a lot of these type of boats while on holiday there in 95.
I like this but it will be down to how many voters think it meets the challenge.
Good luck

Excellent composition, nice colors, well lit. I like this one a lot. I'm curious where you took the shot.

Wonderful! The aged look of the wood and peeling paint gives this a great feel. Textures, colors, and lines are perfect. Exposure is right dead on. I wish those (plastic looking) eyes were not there, but you have to take hat you get. The blue-white spots near the top of the left side are a bit bothersome.

Creative and artistically presented. My only concern is that those eyes are literally 'eyes' and thus some may question if this entry meets the challenge requirements (I think it does). With that aside, this is a worthy entry without glaring technical deficits. (probably could have adjusted the saturation selectively to make the red and yellow more lively)

Very nice shot. Unfortunately I don't think that it fully matches the challenge as the eyes are meant to be eyes on this boat. You may well get marked down. Good luck.

I'm not sure this qualifies as a "hidden face" since the fishermen pout eyes on the boats deliberately, but it's a hell of a nice image.
