I made up 3 different levels of contrast with this shot.... I hope I picked the correct one as the sails look blown out but they were pure white with no detail and it is a HIGH CONTRAST challenge

nice composition of the three boats. the sail of the leftmost one is pretty overexposed, though.

I like the triplicity of it. Nice reflection as well. I think it could use a large spance of negative space (water) to one side of the boats but maybe that wasn't a part of the setting at the time.

Good high contrast, and I like your overall composition. The white of the sails might be just a tad too bright, but still a great shot. Good luck in the challenge!
