The lines in this photo is wonderful. Especially the nice curve of the water-edge, and the way it is repeated with the line of buildings. The colours do not jump out at you, but I do not see that it should. The whole picture has a watercolour-feel to it, and relaxes me. Well done.

All the colors here seem so pale, I think this would really pop more with stronger saturation.
