Welcome to dpc!

Compositionally, your shot feels a bit static. I think this is probably due to the fact that it is the center, vertically, of the picture. Moving it up in the frame, or down (probably the better choice) would give it a more dynamic, balanced feeling.

Technically, the focus and exposure is good. The saturation is a bit high making the greens look almost unnatural. Maybe bringing the greens down just a bit would help.

Overall, it is an interesting shot. A boat tied to a tree when no water is around -- that is kinda funny. However, it looks like you were just walking around and saw it and snapped it. Different angles of perspective could really make this an interesting photograph. Getting down on the ground, shooting from the stern, and filling the frame with just the front of the boat are just some of the possibilities. Also, the peeling paint could make for some nice texture shots.

You picked a good subject, and it is technically okay, but there is a lot more that could be done to make it even more interesting.

Best wishes to you in future challenges and if I can further clarify or explain myself, please feel free to contact me.

The lighting is very harsh and I think the composition would have been helped if you have taken the shot from a lower vantage point
