Composition (content)
The composition is one of the two main reasons why this image scored 217th out of 219 entries. The other one is the fact that this is not a landscape. To enter it was your choice, I don't mind.
The rudder is in an interesting place in the composition, a rule of thirds spot and it seems to work here. The keel of the boat also enters the frame in a nice way.
The other parts of the composition are messy. The keel of the red boat seems to transfer into the bow of the boat at the right. The rudder blocks the name of the boat in the back and the bow of the boat behind "...rtner" seems to drop out of nothing (and breaks the line into the rudder of the first boat). I think that a different shooting angle would iron out most of that. More to the right for example, to get the bow and name of the "...rtner" in view and to detach the keel of the red one from the bow of other. It would also improve the depth.
The colors of the boats are nice, but on the oversaturated side.
Background
See composition. Try different angles.
Camera Work (Technical)
I own a P1 and there is not much you can do with it. :)
The exposure seems good, depth of field is huge, but when the rudder is used as main subject, it would be better with a blurred background. Just hope that the camera does it. :)
Focus and sharpness are good.
Unfortunately the whitebalance cannot be set manual, because the balance seems to favour blue. My P1 does the same thing in any outdoor situation. Always a blue/purple cast. Autolevels or manual levels with the white/black eyedropper in photoshop does magic with that.
Digital Processing (technical)
See camera work.
The maximum filesize is 150kb, yours is 100kb. Using a higher quality setting could make the sky in the upper right look more natural and keeps jpeg artifacting around noise lower.
My opinion
Needs better composition. |

| there are nice colors here, and a interesting subject in the barnacles encrusted keel, which should be in sharper fiocus. I try to give a lot of leeway about the challenge perameters, but this isn't even close to being a landscape. |

| I wouldn't call this a landscape. Barring that, composition is different, but I would like to see more focus on the barnacles in the foreground (they're blurry). |

| Nice picture of yachts. Doesn't really meet the Landscape challenge. Focus and lighting are good. Good depth of field. 6 waltoml. |

| Those are some nice mussels attached to the rudder ;) But, I scored you low based on the fact that this is not a landscape shot IMO. Technically it is sound, and I like the composition. Colours are vibrant as well. jgillard4 |

I think this one would have been more interesting if instead of concentrating on one or two boats you found a position where you could see a lot of boats.
A whole line of sterns and bows getting smaller in the distance.Now that would be a Yacht Scape. |

| It's an ok photo, but I'm having trouble fitting it to the landscape theme - perhaps a long shot showing all off boats would have been more "landscape" like, or you could try to get just the landscape of that rudder? |

| Nice picture but not really landscape. Although the barnicals on the rudder do look like a forest from 5000 feet. |
