Hey. Check this out. These appear to have been taken from about the same POV. From the Lensbaby site: Lensbabies.com

Sorry gang! I got my new camera and had a great shot that I wanted to do something with. You are right that it was not really on topic for this contest.

Without the title, it may be a bit of a stretch for the challenge to some. Nice light, pretty good color.

Just too much of a stretch with the title.

I'll take your word for it...Stately Schooner!... But...meets Challenge? Hmmmmm, Okay!

Or maybe silks, or cottons, or steel bolts. Putting seeds in the title of a picture of a ship doesn't make the picture meet the challenge. Sorry bout that - it would really be a great photo in a different challenge.

This is what is called "shoehorning" - making up a title to somehow squeeze a photo into a challenge. I don't care for that.
Nice ship, though - would look even better if the busy background was blurred so it wouldn't be as distracting.

This is a beautiful shot but too far removed from the challenge subject for me.

Hmmm...where have I seen this ship before? ;^) It's an interesting image, however I think you're relying too much on the title to make the connection to the challenge theme. JMO of course.

Pleasing and interesting image - presumably rigged for full sail but tied up in dock with gangplank in place to display for visitors?

Decent shot... definitely an example of a shot being shoe-horned into a challenge, though.

Really?! Great marine shot, wrong challenge, methinks.

That's a bit of a reach to fit it into the challenge, but I guess it works. Where is this and what's the sub in the BG? Looks like a good place to visit.

stretching the topic...good image, but not for this challenge
