We need to have another from the ground up challenge! I enjoyed shooting for this challenge and from the looks of it so did you. Another cool outtake. The diagonal composition works really well especially for this odd shaped building.

I think you made the right choice in terms of the highest possible score but that aside I like these variations. It would make an interesting pop-art like arrangement if you hung them on a wall together.

I love the colors. So crisp and clean too. The background is also really good as it doesn't distract. The pole isn't great but it's so far off to the right it doesn't bother me.

Comment by Dr.Confuser:
Sun, sky and mist conspire to create a great mood for this photo. Well conceived, captured and presentsd! I especially like how you've emphasized the sailboat and the juxtaposition of its name with the mood of the weather. It may be an optical illusion but it looks tilted to the left slightly. I would give it an extra point if this had been adjusted to correct the illusion. Among my top picks.

Beautiful - looks a little too dodged on the boat but overall very nice.
