I always have a soft spot for boats and water scenes. Especially old, faded ones that need a paint job.

This makes for a nice subject. It is a nice shot, however the horizon appears to be askew. Can you rotate it slightly to level the horizon? Do you have a larger image to show as well?

Hi and welcome to the group. Nice work. Some may argue that the boats in the background are a bit distracting. When presented with a subject with so much "character", take a few extra shots close-up for an abstract look.
