Crystal, this is SO awesome! It reminds me of a photo you would see in an elegant brown frame hanging in a man's office or library! It's beautiful. . .and in my opinion, underrated!
totally agree with shez .. this should've done heaps better coz its such an excellent photograph .. the b&w is fantastic and the contrasts beautiful ... you have created a work of art here ...
A reasonably ordinary scene like this requires some special moment of light or situation to make it stand out as worth presenting I think; this just doesn't quite have it. The house, trees and other boats confuse a potentially simple composition, the light seems quite flat, making the shapes of the boats - those curves should be a gift - difficult to distinguish. The confusion of the masts/outriggers/whatever-they're-called could be an advantage in a simpler situation, here they just continue the complication of the treee silhouettes behind them.
