A delightfully atmospheric photo that captures the essence of the setting. As such it would be a good real estate photo.
Unfortunately as photographic work it needs a little more. While the shot is restful, we need some purpose in taking it.
For example, placing the boat at the water's edge starts to say something about venturing out. There's an untidy straggle of rope
leading from the boat which doesn't help. But I feel that the main problem is that while there are plenty of leading lines,
they don't lead anywhere! A big storm building in the background would give some dynamic. And I notice that the focal
length was very short. While I admire experimentation with short focal lengths, the equip0ment must always be fit for purpose.
In this case I feel that the short focal length has compromised the sharpness of the shot.
