cool colors, really nice contrast. but. when shooting something like this, refer to the 6-feet-up rule: don't shoot it from 6 feet up.
everybody sees it from that angle/point of view, and so, as a photographer, you're wanting to look for a new perspective. maybe a shot from right over them, maybe a shot 1 centimeter from the ground. but not 6 feet up. ;)

Whooo! Awesome! the horizontal crop works great! It's good to see that the photo is not at all crooked. the silhouettes of the boats completes the mood, sort of like a long days' work. the only thing that would have made this better is if the boats centered the sun. but that would have been near impossible.
this looks like a hard exposure: the middle to upper clouds look a tiny bit underexposed, but the area of the sun is just right, and the water is just right. so i guess on some of those things you just have to decide which one you want properly exposed, and i think you chose the right property. awesome photo!! you should sell this one!

pretty cool, kinda abstract, but the spot takes away from the photo. what would have been really cool is if the person appeared to be looking at the spot, despite how she wouldn't actually be looking at it. just in the general direction.
