Morning pipersd,
I do not like he compostion here. To busy, my eye wonders all over the place. The white rope, the boat, the post & chain. There is way to much cloud seen here, cropping just above the boats mast would have been just right. The water also has been burned to much (obvious). Perhaps a different angle or possibly depth of field blurring the boat would have helped here.

The chain doesn't really stand out as the subject.... perhaps a different angle would have helped

The editing is a bit too obvious here which is distracting. Composition seems a little cluttered as well - an alternate angle would have been worth pursuing - especially with the opportunity those bricks present.

Not keen on how the lighting changes around the chain & post. OK sky and BG but its a bit distracting. Good Luck

Nice colour and subject but i would have prefered the boat a bit more over the chain instead of behind it
