i like the theme but i dont think that the boats are in focus enough, and besides, the picture is very busy with all the other boats.

maybe a tighter crop to the right, to get rid of the empty expanse of water and help us focus more on the boats? Love the sky!

To me, the composition of this shot seems a bit centered. While using this wide an angle gives a neat "direction" to the shot, I think a more offset framing of more of the boats, and less of the surroundings would make a stronger shot.

too much background. cropping it to some of the reflection of the boats and way less sky would help to focus on just the boats.

Might have been a little better with a tighter crop or if focused more on a few details.
