I was your 9. I thought it was very on challenge. I could see myself noticing this "debris" and seeing the beauty in it. The poet in me wonders how you "half abandon" a boat.

This is actually quite lovely. The colors are wonderful. I get that there is a lot of miscellaneous "stuff" but I love roaming through the image. 7 (in another challenge it would have been higher). Maybe (just maybe) I like clutter:)
