Great detail, reflections and colour, but the central focus, boat & reflection are too central. With more context, this wouLd be an even thronged image.

Thanks for that, Terry. Could you explain a little bit more? These boats fish for lobster - that's why I left the lobster pots in the shot. Context?
I've cropped the image a bit, moved the boats off-centre, and darkened it a bit as looking at the first post, I thought it was a bit too bright. Maybe it's a nothing shot when all is said and done! It caught my eye on the day....

It's a long way from a nothing shot, Seamus. It's gorgeous, and the lobster pots make the picture. Stick with the original. I hear what Terry's saying, but not every picture has to satisfy the rule of thirds.

Agreed! Regarding rules then an experienced photographer should go with his/hers instinct and forget about the "rules" If every photographer used the "rules" then creativity would be stifled and any originality would be lessened. Nice image.

I'm with Russ on this one. The original is just right.
