Cruise Ship - Distracting Sun?

[PhotogAve]

Are the sun rays in the mid-left corner too distracting?

On one hand, I think it looks like a scratch or flaw, but on the other hand, I kinda like it there.
Thanks for the feedback!

Actually, I find the trees more distracting, then again, there is nothing we can do, cannot possibly chop the trees off can we, HAHA!

All trees or just in the left corner?

If I can change the scene totally, I will chop away the trees on the right and see more of the trees on the left in a way the trees on the left lined up in a straight line leading right from the extreme left up to somewhere near the guy in white shirt is standing...

At the angle it appears now, I would say it is a distraction. However, if you were able to take the shot later in the day when the sun is lower, it could help your shot IMO.

I don't find the sun to be distracting at all. That actually helps the picture. what I do find distracting is everything that is not the ship. If your subject were the dock, great. But if your subject were the ship, you might have moved to the spot in front of the ship where you could catch a shot of the front of the ship.

Thank you for the critiques!
