| The first thing of the photo that i realize is there really isnt a major subject, if you were hoping for the boats to be the subject I would consider taking a crop in to make them larger and catch the eye. The other thing that I would consider is to crop out the stick in the foreground, for some reason My eye goes right to it every time that I look at the photo. I know we really cant control the weather either, but I think it would contrast the boats better if you had a blue sky day. I know this really happens for me so I am kind of glad im not the only one with gray sky photos (no offense or nothing). |

Very nice composition, and I know the other comments feel that it is a bit flat. I hope you don't mind, as I downloaded it into photoshop, and played with the "color balance", adding more blues and magenta to your image. I also cropped it, re the rule of thirds, to give more impact on the ripples in the water, which I really like.
This is the result, re my playing with it.

| Good POV, but it's a bit flat, probably because of all of the grey. Calmer water would help with the reflection. The grass wrapped around the stick is distracting, maybe a higher crop to get rid of that. |

I will agree with the sky. A nice sunrise or sunset would look really good. Plus, it should be a little more calm for a better reflection. I like the angle you took the picture. Nice job on that!
Hope it helps

I don't have much experience but I think this image could use a better point of interest. What I mean is, if you intended to have the boats as your subject, they would have to be bigger more visible. If you intended to make a landscape image, then the boats are too big and too visible.
You're like in between the 2 good zones in my opinion and therefor there's no point of interest in the image. Hope this helps! |
