  What fabulous design elements you've captured here, Donna...but this image is still excellent for the monthly theme of 'Exhibit', too!! The tones, lighting, details, point of view and composition here all are superb!! I took a look at the 'entire boat' and the official website of this craft!! Amazing!! Phil and I trust that all is well with you and yours over the other side of the big 'pond', as it is with us here Downunder!! :o)
