Well I have to confess when I saw the word Amsterdam my eyes went sraight away to the windows. Glad you went for a less onvious waldo and I love the fact that when you look at this shot you know you could only be one place in the world
Possibly a tad blown out on the boat, but this is more than compensated for by the sharpness and beauty of the canalsdide buildings
There are pieces of this that really appeal to me, like the roof line juxtaposed against such a blue sky. Losing Waldo through soft focus doesn't work as well for me, though, and the shades don't improve that. The ripples on the water are also a bit distracting in the way they reflect the building colors -- couldn't you have stopped the wind blowing? :) I generally do like the shot, though, and composition fits with the purpose of the shot.
