Processing rules:

Post processing is as cosmetics, use a little and it enhances the end result artistically. Use too much and the result is blatantly artificial, which is frawned upon in this challenge. So HDR and standard basic post processing is okay, as long as it is not overwhelmingly noticable.
No composites, we want honest pictures

Great work. I am an amateur photographer with not experience yet in post processing (photoshop). I tried to crop a photo and I must say it took me quiet a while, I can imagine the effort you invested here.

Both this and my image (the Forbidden City) demonstrate just how important cropping can be. Nice job.

Excellent! -I think it looks great! You've increased the "power" of this shot with trimming the top, and my eye follows into the frame beautifully. Congratulations indeed!

Ok...better than the best :)

Yes, I really like this cropped. There is a great sense of being overwhelmed by these very large (hungry?) ships! Congratulations.
