I originally scored your photo at 9. On second look I can't find any reason why I wouldn't give it a 10. So, 10 it is.

That fill flash / reflector is almost a bit much, giving it a surreal quality. Bur OTOH, how else could you have brought out all those wonderful textures and colours, that really make the picture? I feel mesmerized. Thumbs up!

Nice impact and POV, good colors, maybe a little too much vignetting in the upper right corner. Well done.

seems to be a glow around the boat? better control with your masking or a little less tone mapping, its a shame because it is a nice photo. The polarizer? created a nice blue pop and some interestesting clouds

A bit over processed for me. For me and the whole HDR/processing stuff, my feeling is this...if you are going to do it, do it to the extent that you create something totally unexpected. I would exptect to see a rusted wreck with brown, red and algae. I would not exptect to see a rusted wreck shown in sublte colors (see my point?) I guess my feeling is really summed up this way...photography is 95% talent, 5% luck. Digital photograpy is 95% talent, 5% luck and an additionl 50% creativity, reserve the majority of the creativity for taking the talent into the art.

This shot shows a huge amount of talent, without all of the editing. I would love to see it as it was before you started "playing" with it.

I would consider cropping on the left so that the boat just kisses the edge of the shot. You've almost got it, but I still see some blue at the top.
