Welcome to DPS! You know what, I really like the composition and the colorful boats anchored around the water! Very cool! My only suggestion would be to isolate the sky and fiddle with it. Currently it is blown out in the top right corner. I think it would look nice if you could even add a little blue in the top right corner and bring down the exposure a tad. Great photo! Keep the photos coming!

I second that... Its a really neat composition... but does look a bit dull in the background...
Keep going !

Also, now that you got your first post out of ya, the jitters will wear off...

It's an interesting shot and looks even better when viewed in a larger size over at Flickr.

I think cropping out part of the foreground water and part of the sky will help ground the shot a little more. The sky in the upper right draws the eyes away from what is going on in the foreground. Maybe increasing color saturation a tiny bit would brighten up the boats a little and hold the eyes a little more.

Really like the sense of atmosphere of this image.

I like the picture.
I don't mind the color and exposure, it seems real to me.
The only thing that bugs me is the corner of the yellow boat being cut off. Because it is so bright it is really noticable to me.
Of course there is an edge to every picture, but the darker boats don't matter so much to me...
