Nice idea, but the photo's definition isn't the best... Colours seem a bit odd too (the water on the bottom of the photo makes it look like extreme curves treatment).
Everything about this photo just seems off to me. The positioning of the boats, the lack of definition in the water. Could just be a bad upload, though.
Had you picked some of the leaves off and left some in such a way as to mirror the well caught pattern created by the boats this would have been more effective. The focus on the boats also makes the branch seem like a mistake and it got in the way. They would still have been obvious as boats with their shape if you focused on the leaves and not them.
Very nice shot for framing as well... I think I would prefer the branches to be focused differently - either more or less. Right now it's so close that the OOF on the branches looks like a goof.
Composition is good but the image looks "over-processed" strange artifacts show in the water and the furthest two boats are in too sharp focus to look real when the more distant water and far trees are not.
I'm not sure what you did to edit this...but it looks, um, painted. i'm not sure if that is what you were going for or not. i think the crop could have been better, i would have cut out the hills/trees in the back. so weird..i've never seen a picture look like that before. not sure how i like it yet...
nice idea, IMO, and I do realize it is my opinion, but if the branches had been in focus and the boat slightly out of focus, would have worked better, especially if you cropped out the upper two boats
