This is a very pretty skyline shot. Sadly,it seems quite a bit out of focus so a lot of the impact is lost. The challenge has been met because one truly sees how huge this ship is when comparing it to the equally huge skyscrapers. High marks for overall composition and meeting the challenge.
Interesting night shot. Very poster-like. I like the way that the boat not only fills the slip but is also brighter than the surronding buildings. It is this second aspect that I think speaks to the challenge topic. (If there were a small boat at the other dock the comparison hinted at in the title woudl come through.) Nice capture!
