Very nice work - good sky and very good contrast between light and dark sides. I like the highlights in the black in foreground. Some very good alertness in getting the atmospherics. I'm guessing Grafarvogur, Iceland.

I do not see this as meeting the challenge as the challenge stated to take a photo of SOMEONE trying to move an immovable object. Too bad too as this is a very nice image as far as technicals go. It is for this reason alone that I am giving it a 6. Had you included a person perhaps trying to pull the boat ashore by their own power alone I would have had no problem giving it a ten.

This is such a great image! The only reason I am deducting marks here are because of the challenge requirements:

"Take a photo of someone trying to move an immovable object."

I fail to see who is trying to move what in this scene. I assume it would the the waters trying to move the boat... but that isnt apparent here. The water is so calm.

I love the sky in this, the lighting is great! I can't quite put my finger on it but something is unbalanced in it - maybe it is that the boat isn't stronger than the foreground shoreline.

Absolutely beautiful photo. Colours are superb...unfortunately, I have to deduct a few point because I don't see "someone trying to move an immovable object".

One of my favorite landscape shots from the challenge.
Most amazing seeing the variety of the terrain in your home of Iceland.
