The powerlines are definitely distracting here.
I'm looking at the colors and lines and I've decided that I'm satisfied with the basic subject and its placement.
I'm having trouble with the distant BG though, so I'd offer the suggestion of moving one step left and one foot up. That would probably change the composition to place slightly more emphasis on the boat, the break in the back and the contrast from the busy grass to the calm water. I'd crop down to a little above the high waterline on the opposite shore.
At that point, I'd probably have a go with obscuring the reflection of the single remaining powerline tower from the water.
The saturation of the image is fairly low, so loses a lot of visual impact because of this. Possible solutions could be the addition of an unexpected color or increasing contrast outright, going to a very low saturation, monotone or duotone.
that's the best I can do for now! Hope it's useful somewhat.
