Wanted to post this one for critique. I do realize here that my sensors need to be cleaned again. Otherwise, I like the composition.

First thing I noticed is that the horizon needs to be straightened and another thing I would do is crop out (reduce the amount) of the blah (uninteresting) sky.

I think I see what you're going for.
But the featureless sky is just bad. Is it overcast, or did you somehow not capture the blue?
The boat is interesting, but there's not really a story in the pic. Are the people who set up the chairs on the boat? If so, how did they get there?
Is the boat even supposed to be there? Without the boat, there's almost a story: the people with the chairs are in the water, but we don't see them. Did they drown, or go for a hot dog?
Landscapes should, for the most part, be not square, unless the squareness adds to the story; It doesn't here, that I can see.
Maybe if you were to title the pic, we would know what you are trying to say with the pic.
While I certainly don't consider myself one with room to criticize, the first thing that I notice, besides the slanted horizon, would e the colour of the sky. If it wasn't blue, I'd be tempted to adjust it that way. To me, the boat is a little distracting too. Love the colours of the umbrella - gives it life!
Crop, PP, play and have fun...
Good shot, but it would improve greatly with some cropping of the top and bottom and straightening of the horizon, Imagigraphic!
