Greetings from the Critique Club.
You certainly meet the challenge with the striking gold sail in the centre. The shot is technically sound, with nothing fundamentally wrong. There is a richness to this image that I enjoy. Others may feel that the foreground and background are too dark - I imagine this is a result of editing to get the sail just so. Unfortunately all the action in the image is in a band across the centre, and both foreground and background are pretty much dead space. The foreground in particular does not add to the image.
How to grow the vote: The composition should place more emphasis on the yachts (especially that gold sail) to really focus your audiences eye on the subject. I would have liked to have seen the yachts in the foreground (balanced accordign to the rule of thirds) with a bright blue sky in the background.
I hope my comments help and Good Luck in future Challenges!
Cheers
Paul
