ah, that is a better shot to capture the entirety of the scene, there is room to breathe with the boats not coming to the edge of frame. There is more sky which gives a sense of space. I think if you do what tunde said it would look great (and that big white boat (a focal point) would no longer occupy dead centre - which is a no-no in pretty much every landscape shot you might take imo).

I think if you want to have a "busy" shot then i think geometry is a great way forward. There was a shot in the galleries about a week or two back where there were 4 farmers working in paddy fields with two huts behind them, everything was perfectly aligned and it looked great... i didnt add it to my favs, but i realise now i think i should have, anyone know the shot i am talking about  (it was in sepia as i remember it)?

In every stone sleeps a crystal.

Man is the dream of the Dolphin"
