Its nice and crisp and your colors are beautiful. I can see what you were aiming at with this photo but to be honest, it's very busy and hard to tell what your main focal point is.

Thanks... Actually, I wanted the buildings in the back to disappear! haha... But I get what you mean and I think it is busy because of the buildings at the back. If only I can get a clean shot of just the boats and the bridge.

Hmm... the boats, I was trying to illustrate activities and calm by using the path as a divider. But if you feel the boats are causing the composition to get a bit too busy, then it means the composition failed. Maybe if there are not too many boats there, would it feel better?

My eye starts down the path and along the boats, then notices the large support structure off to the right and doesn't really know where to go from there.

hmm, I get what you mean, I think my plan was there but now that I see it, I am missing a subject at the end of the path. And also some portion of the scene was a bit too busy. Thanks man...
