what do you think about the composition?

I was uncertain to upload this photo but at last I decided to give it a go.I like the colours and I also find the objects in the photo well balanced,but this is my poor opinion...So,is this a good composition or is it just a mess ?

Hi Binnur, One thing to think about is unless a vehicle is the subject of the image it is usually better to not have it too recognizable as folks sometimes get more interested in the vehicle's make and model than the image.

I would try a crop just above the seated man's head to remove just enough of the three prominent vehicles so that attention gets directed back to the boat and reflection. If that still looks OK to you, then consider removing some of the water at the bottom to just above the white dot to position the remainder of the scene a bit lower in the frame.

How about the image simplified - just the boat and the reflected building?

Thank you Philip,your crop is nice ,I actually wanted to get a scene with the man behind but those vehicles spoil the picture..Sometimes you can't get what you want.I will keep your crop and I will also try Frank's advice.

Here is my take on improving the composition. I flipped and cropped it.

Nice image. I think the crops suggested are very nice and add to the image.

That's a nice abstract version Ben! I like your thinking...

Binnur and others....

Take a look at this article about the rules of composition and why they work, just to give you a starting point. When you already know the rules, then you can break them...at will.

Thank you Isabel,I read it a few minutes ago,that's a short but very useful article:-) I have also been reading some books about composition but I really need experience...I hope I will improve in time.
