Painful challenge but is was nice to try. Hope I understood all the rules.
6 shots of a ferry coming from the other side. Put all the photos on different layers and removed all but the ferry, except for the bottom layer. Removed some sensor dust, resized and sharpened.

Considering that the boat is the subject of the time lapse here, I would have preferred this withough the grass in the foreground. I find myself looking at it more than the boats.
i like the composition, though the main subject is a bit far away. the problem, for me, is that boat doesn't really show much 'movement' from one frame to the next. it appears to just be a line of boats that look alike rather than one boat that has moved along a path to the other side. there is nothing to distinguish it.
This could be three different ships. Maybe a tighter crop or zooming in would make the ships be the focal point, rather than just part of the landscape.
You have a great entry here. I am not too sure that anyone else has a large ship in their picture as the main subject. The processing fits the image well and you definately met the challenge. But I don't find it overly exciting. Because of that I am going to give it a 6.
