I looked at this image a number if times before I really decided why I liked it. There is a wonderful rhythm created by the curves back and forth. The viewers eye is drawn back into the work by the diminishing size of the boats in a strong perspective. Subtle diagonals energize the composition. The color is very pleasing, as the alternating yellow and blues creates a nearly complimentary color relationship. Finally the boats are an unfamiliar, yet pleasing series of sculptural forms. Another fine work.
I agree with the others. The chosen angle is perfect to put emphasis on the nice curves. Lovely complementary colors. Only nitpick I have is on the cropping. I would still prefer it more tight at the botom and wee-bit at the top. Great image Dennis!

Dennis, at last you've pulled a much better one out. This is a much better fit for the theme and is a much more interesting image to look at. The curves work well and the yellow backrests work well to add points of interest. I would prefer to see you get rid of the small bit of background at the top right by recomposing or cropping as it doesn't add anything to the image. Also, I wouldn't be able to help myself with using the Photoshop healing tool to get rid of that scuff on the blue hump at the front right. Overall, good colours and lighting with interesting curves and pretty good composition.

This one is really fantastic. The curve are fascinating. The blue is really dominant and the contrast with the yellows is amazing. Great shot.
