A nice harbor scene that's probably more visually appealing in the current black and white than it would be in color. I would make a couple of crop adjustments - a bit off the bottom to remove the distracting foreground objects in the bottom right and also a bit from the right to remove the mast that's mostly hidden. But then, it probably wouldn't be in a square format any longer.

Later,
Johnny

I like this image very much. Harbor scenes are very appealing for some reason. But let me ask you a question: Why did you choose a square format?

I agree those little bits of ground veg would be nice if not there, but I couldn't step any closer without getting wet, so I have to live with them. Always a compromise. Thanks for the comments.
