What do you think?

hmm....The photo is too clutered for me...but again depends on what u were trying to acheive,incase you wanted the clutter its pretty neat then...can do with a bit more color popping.

The problem with cluttered photos is that it can't hold your eye on a single subject and hence one doesnt feel the WOW.

Maybee a better composition would have got more beauty in this shot.

Thanks for the comments mate.
We are going there again for new years so I will try and do a few more and put them on flickr.

Well I'm not really sure what the poll question has to do with your shot Did you feel that you needed to use a tripod in the middle of the day?

Have to agree that it's fairly cluttered, but I think that this could make a very interesting night shot (there's where a tripod is needed). Try it around just after dusk when the sky is becoming a deep blue, but before it's actually gone black. Use the self-timer on the camera if you don't have a remote. Lights, boats, water, and houses can make for some very nice looking long exposures. Good luck on new years with the photos!

I cropped this one.
I think this one is better, you can see the 2 men on the left it seems to add a bit more Character to the pic.

I find it interesting...if merely the boats balanced in the muck since there is no water.
