Shot the oars and hook weve had in the family for years! Boat is fallign apart as well (may submit that picture as well)

Worked in RAW mostly..turned to B&W, adjusted levels, contrast and gamma until I got what I was looking for..then sharpness.

It's a great photo but not much about boats. I know, they're boat tools but still. If the photo were about tools or just about anything else, I'd give it a 10. In the 'Boat' challenge, I'll go with 7.

B/W is the obvious choice for this one. Did you try it with more contrast as well? I think I would have tried a diagonal composition instead of the horizontal, as this is a bit - predictable.

Almost too far out of the box. I wonder how many DNMCs you get on this one. I, however, like it and think that these are clearly things you would find in/on a boat, and I see the seat and rust so I know (or at least can imagine) that this was taken IN a boat. B&W was the perfect choice for this presentation.

This would do well in a texture challenge

This shot is not screaming 'Boat' to me (sorry) - still a nice, crisp photo

Nice shot but i'm afraid it may not qualify as an actual boat picture. 5
