Default Too busy

Need some advice on the composition of this shot.

Tired

Is the scene too busy?

Does the stone to the left of the boats create an uneasy flow through the picture?

Is the lighthouse too washed out?

Exif

f/9.0
1/15 sec
ISO 100
26 mm

Yes.
Yes.
And yes.

I can visualize a bunch of different shots here. It looks like you've tried to pack them all into one. But you already knew that.

I think taken from further left so it just included the boat and the 3 shacks would have been excellent.

Thanks for all your input guys. The whole day was rushed. Car was parked in carpark with no ticket on display. Didn't have enough change, and machine would not take 2 pound coins!

If I do make it back to the same place I'll bring more change and get a few more angles in.

Thanks again.
