This is taken in an old fishing village of Hong Kong. Many of the young people there have gone to cities for better life. Thus many fishing boats were deserted and left alone. This is my first try here, please give me some comment on the photo. ^_^

Question: Would it be better if I went down to the mud and remove those two white stones on the left bottom of the picture? Will that make a better photo?
Thanks for all the comments and all the votes! I was really flattered as this is my first try. Thanks for all the supports! This photo was taken in a fish village in Hong Kong, called "Tai O". It was a busy fish village before. But many of the people there have gone to city for work. The population of the village are mainly old people. They do fishing, make salted fish/eggs and other sort of traditional Chinese fish village food. I took this picture mainly because I like their way of architecture that builds houses on wooden columns and piles. Thanks again!
I really like the photo, only It doesn't feel deserted to me. Maybe it's the other boats in the background, or maybe it's the fresh trail in the mud. That's only a nitpick about the title, though, and I rated this photo highly.
This photo works very well in black and white! The only thing I may have done differently on this one would have been to use the 427 pixel vertical crop rather than the 480 to allow you to bring the boat closer to the frame edge and cut out some of the empty area in front of it... good job!
I like this better with the left side off to make a vertical comp. You'd lose the white XXX on the bank and that stern rope, too. I like the open shade in the fg in contrast with the bright sun on the rooftops, for some reason. Nice work.
