 The Yarra is popular for rowing. This area is just outside of the Melbourne CBD, right close into the city.

The water is generally brown but not because of pollution. The Yarra is often referred to as the River that runs upside down.

Your boat sticks out but your subject kind of fades with the rest of the picture. Wish you could bring him out just a bit more. Maybe a crop? More contrast?

This is a great idea. I think it would have been more striking if his kayak was pointing 15-20 degrees more to camera left...

As stock, this would work well. Good theme, model and expression. But would be better of it was closer so we can see his facial expression clearly.

This could work well as a motivational poster image in a lot of ways. Conveys a sense of fun and purpose. It appears to be right on the edge of over sharpened. A solid effort.
