Took Photobod's advice to do something with the sky on this photo, so I eliminated most of it.... and yes, it adds to the photo...

In the background is the new World Trade Center Tower #1 (Freedom Tower)

On the second one, I just automatically cropped it down...

The top one strikes me as a good example of using the rule of thirds. I agree this is a better version of the shot. All that is lacking is for you to photoshop in a small anchor tied to the boat so it won't float away... :rofl:

Definite improvement. I'd go back at early morning or late evening on a day with blue sky and a few clouds to improve it further.

The statement is pointless. The finger is speechless.

I'm not crazy about the 2nd one, it's too bright. It might be better to shoot this boat on a sunny day, or turn your current shot into B&W.
