Hi Tom,
I'm was going to move the thread.......but I'm not sure it works in Trave/ Cityscapes........so I'll leave it here. The colors of the bouys.....the line they make and the seperation between them I like a lot! I eyed a crop off the top row of 1/2 pots.........just above the yellow rope........and it strengthened the comp for me..........because it eliminated most of the piling in the upper part of frame........yet still kept the mood of the distant BG. This also seemed to emphasize the diagonal comp even more. Nicely composed.

Tom,

I will go with Roman's decision on a move. As your subject is the bouys and traps, ideally the Travel/Cityscape forum would be the place to post this.

Roman captured my feelings well on the image. I do think a different crop is needed to accentuate the subject as demonstrated below. This removes the uninteresting BG on the left.
