Another photograph of the vintage sailboat travelling down the river. There was considerable growth of weeds along this stretch of river. I tried to use it to frame the picture. Thank you for your opinions.

I like the scene too. I would have tried a vertical framing as a way of getting closer. The areas to the sides seems unnecessary. Also I have a hard time seeing people on the boat. A longer lens would have helped. I think I like this best of the three boat shots.

Thank you for your comments. I had the camera on a tripod so with the boat moving it would have been difficult to change the camera position, at least I think it would, on my tripod. It also would have included more of the grasses at the bottom and the trees at the top. I don't think there was any perfect solution. Thanks again for your thoughts!

That's better. In this picture I see what you wanted to do with that weeds. Nice frame! I agree Yoong on the reflection of another boat on the left side of the image. But I insist on better DOF settings. May be you could blur the background with photoshop. By this way you take ship foreground. :) I rely on you.. Take clicking, see u.

Your framing technique is good. It's a good idea to use the weeds as a frame. My only complain is that the inclusion on the small part of the other boat on the left side of the image. Its shadow is spoiling the reflection of the subject, maybe try cropping it out. Other than that, colours are not particularly rich, not sure whether pushing the saturation will help, but give it a try. Good effort, regards.
