Some themes in photo challenges are easy to work with, then there are those that take time and contemplation to match up with a photograph, such as XFactor. Originally I was leaning in a different direction until taking a long look at the anchor of this ship, then the XFactor jumped out at me. Do you think this is fitting?

I do and I think your thinking great, nice photo very appropriate for the Xfactor..
Yes I love the Juxtapositioning of the puny Lines which would never even be able to lift that Pick!
I see the X and I love the detail!
Tough theme to fill – nice capture. I love the processing.
Excellent photo, and great for the theme.
Great I see more than an “X”… leaves me to wonder about the X and it’s “duty”.. You never cease to surprise me…iliil sassy
me I can see the X factor, wonderful and amazing shot
X factor is one of those themes that work in so many ways – this is fabulous

Yes, eXact fit. Again, i like the clarity of your photo.
I think you did very well with the XFactor. It frames the anchor very beautifully. A nice take on a difficult theme.
LOve it…excellent for the theme
Love the abstract look of this “x factor” image.
You’ve nailed a tricky theme.
Yes!! I do! And it’s a beautiful photo, too. Perfect colours and colour intensity for a summertime shipping shot.
Love the vivid colors and think it’s a well seen image for the theme!
Very clever shot for this theme.
Hi Patty,
That is definitely an X. Beautiful shot! Have a great day!

Excellent photo with stunning colors.
I think it’s perfect …both the x and the other nautical details that you have so nicely captured in this photo.
For what seems like a simple image at first this has a lot going on. Clever indeed for the theme. Another that would be cool printed very large.
Fantastic photograph. What a glorious moment.
Love those details!
