I can't tell what's on the left, and that's exactly where my eye settles as I look. Could there have been another angle that would have been less cluttered(a lesson I've had to learn :))? As I prefer a softer palette, the colors are a little over the top for me.

The left is a bit hard for such a soft photo.  I like it but the sharp edges of the left bit do detract.

It looks like it was made with a Holga or a Lensbaby - not sure if that's the case.  Too OOF for me, and I'd definitely tone down the saturation a bit.  I'd also remove the telephone pole or whatever mid-frame at the back, but that's just me.

Yeah I admit that thing on the left is bush and it's quite "get in the way". I would like to show the boat on the lowert left side, but if i crop the bush then the boat would almost touch the frame so there it goes like that.. Lesson's learned. Thanks alot for the comments.  ;)

I like the composition better, but it's still too saturated for my palette. To each his own; it was the left side of the photo that really bothered me.

Better.  That hard edge on the left still pulls your eye but not so bad.
