I submitted another picture 2 days before the deadline and was happy with that.
3 hours before the deadline I looked at the sky and saw those beautiful clouds and I thought they would look good in the negative image. I took about fifty shots of the Star Of India in downtown of San Diego and rushed home. I had no time for any extra editing, only levels for contrast and Invert layer for the negative.
I still was not sure I was doing the right thing and 2 minutes before the deadline I clicked the Submit changes button with my shaking hands, I even forgot to change the title of the picture.
Many of your comments sad my image looks like a “Ghost ship”. That’s what I would have called it if I had more time.
Thanks everyone for the comments and votes.

Definitely has the ghost ship vibe to it. You obviously made the correct choice as to which image to submit. Some of us have a hard time doing that. This is simply an excellent shot. Well done.
I didn't vote in this challenge, but if I had, this would have scored high from me. I really like that you can still see the details in the sails and the sky really does look "spooky".
Congrats on completing your "hat trick" of having all 3 kinds of ribbons. NO chance your outtake would have ribboned, well in my opinion though so I definately think you made the right choice in image to send in.
Great picture. Maybe 'Ghost Ship' would have been a better title. This is a definite improvement on the positive (I checked). And there is enough detail in the white for it not to be boring.
Flying…
