Sorry, but the pic needs to evoke the challenge for me, not the title. This is a pretty shot, but doesn't say much magic or mystery to me. 5.

I guess the title is a minor turn-off for me and I can imagine a more flattering version of this same genre of photo. God's Creation is a little too brownish for me here.

Make that canvas bigger. We always want 640 pixels on one side. The shot could benefit from some PP. Shadow/highlights or hue masked to the clouds. A vertical orientation may help and I wish I had something in the foreground (beach, boat, bird, something). Perhaps I'm thinking too much of my Afterlife shot. Mildly DNMC (not enough to vote down). 4

5: a bit small and the curved horizon is very offputting

I like the subject you choose for this challenge very much. I have a few suggestions you might want to try to improve the strenth of the composition and the overall quality of the image. First, you may want to remove the boats on the right hand edge and some of the sky by cropping. The direction of the boats tends to lead my eyes out of the picture and away from the stonger positioned boats. The top of the sky has very little detail and removing would make the relationship between the dry docked boats and the water stronger. Second, the waterline and dock make this image appear slanted to the right. A slight rotation to the left to bring these features horizontal would help the visual impact. Third, the colors in the sky are a bit washed out. I think these could be improved using saturation, curves, and levels in post processing.
