Default Vancouver downtown from Granville Island

Hello, everybody,
this is a shot I made of Vancouver downtown from Granville Island, about 30 mins after I made the shot "Vancouver downtown from the bridge".
Still, how do you think of the composition? do you think it is too busy or it is just fine?
Do you think the boat at the bottom there leads your eyes to the buildings and bridge?
Any other critique is also welcome. Thank you!

Very nice picture, i love the way it almost seems monochrome. I find there is a lot of nice lines in this shot. It is very busy but i love it.

I found it extremely busy with intersecting lines, the lower vertical pillars not in harmony with the bridge. The boat does not lead my eyes to the bridge and buildings. Overall the whole appearance is that of a lot happening at the moment and the grains in the sky add to this effect.

Thank you guys for the comments.
When I got back the prints, this one was not that interesting to me. But after showing the prints to my friend, this one was said to be a very good one. It is kind of too busy there, but I like something there like the lights and reflections.
Gotta try something different next time.
Thanks again.
