Re: Lazy Summer Afternoon
looks like a nice day! You might consider making some adjustments to provide a bit more distinction in the midtones. If you have Photoshop this can be done by adjusting clarity a little. Using spot adjustments of clarity in the water and sky will add some additional life to those broad areas which now are somewhat bland.

Re: Lazy Summer Afternoon
For me, Bruce, those out of focus leaves on the left have to go. You could still end up with a 4 x 5 or square ratio and a nice clean composition.

Re: Lazy Summer Afternoon
Composition seems better to me. Good thought to reduce the sky and focus on the boat. See what you think of a crop that is more horizontal, losing more of the top and focusing even more on the travel of the boat.

Re: Lazy Summer Afternoon
In addition to providing subject matter those pontoon boats are awesome platforms for photography

Re: Lazy Summer Afternoon
Those crops look better to me. Which is best depends on what you want from this scene. Showing the background scenery plus a boat, or concentrating on the boat plus people and losing the scenery context.
But with the second option I would have been willing to lose a fraction more from the bottom to have all of that house roof showing in the background.
