    Meng, I like how the foreground zig zags to the main subject drawing me in. I also have to agree with Marko - the main subject is too far away and some what obscurred/defocused by the mist/fog.

    Ditto above. I think the boat is the main subject but your huge foreground is very busy and takes up over half of the frame pulling my eyes down there. Try zooming in on the boat to a point that includes only half or the last piece of foreground grass and a wee bit of water before it. And try not to add any more of the flat sky. Maybe it will work maybe it won't but give it a try and let's have a look.

    Thank you for the comments people and they are well taken. I left the foreground as the dominant feature intentionally to give the idea of the natural, been here for thousands of years world, and the square, sharp cornered human part of the scene is a much smaller more insignificant portion of that world. I see that in this shot, but I made it didn't I? If you aren't seeing that in this scene without an explanation then I'm not showing it to you properly. It's an ongoing theme in much, but not all of the things I shoot, the interaction of humans and nature here. I'll continue to try to make it more obvious. Thanks again, and please continue to give your opinions, they are valued by me.
