No cropping.
I didn't take from the top because of the blue boat.
The white bright things are just so white that there isn't a change to do anything about it, not even when I was photographing.

Composition: Like composition for this challenge, as you keep moving from one side of the image to other.
Subject: Beautiful. I love boats. Aren't they a wonderful subject for photography?
Technical: the colours are a little bit washed IMHO. I think they need some more saturation and texture, but maybe it's just my monitor. The white of the upper boat is blowed.
Improvement: It's a pitty it was basic editing, if not you could work a little bit more the boats to recover more colour.
Summary: Very good comp, very good for the challenge, needs a bit more saturarion and texture.
Very colourful, which is always good:)
I like the way the boats 'overlap' the yellow one, it kinda frames the awesome reflection.
the top of the boat and the rope are a bit distracting, but if you crop it out then the pretty blue is lost...
I like the rhythm of the boat lines - definitely a unique perspective on the challenge.
I'm not sure what to do about the overwhelming brightness of the white except maybe turn the shutter speed up a notch and let the color come out in post-production, perhaps via saturation and lightness controls? Overall, not a bad finish at 55, though. Good eye!
I really like the repetition of the lines on the boats. The reflection adds to the impact. The colors are nice and bright. The white top of the white boat takes away a tiny bit. Not much, though. Maybe cropping a bit lower would help?. Overall a very pleasing photo.
huh? windows flying through the air? oh, no, it's just completely overexposed top sides of the boats. Only way to save this image is to crop off 40% at top and 5 % off the bottom
