Heavy compression, especially at the bottom right of the frame, really hurts this otherwise-OK shot.

Like the picture but not the blurry boat in the middle of it...

The tree needs to be removed. There is some motion blur too which could be put to use. Somehow the concept of 'returning home' comes to mind. But that subject would need a different viewpoint.

The only thing I don't like in this iamge is the boat. If it was stationary it would be a stronger element I think. Moving, in this shot, it becomes a distraction.

Not sure if this is night yet, but close enough. The blur of the boat takes away from the sunset.

The picture is a bit noisy. Also I think if the tree wasn't visible in the bottom, it would've have very strong minimalistic effect with nice leading lines. Pity for he noise.

I like the colors, but it seems a bit grainy.
