I think it's a beautiful shot. The signs in the foreground add a great deal of interest. Well done.

You know how songs stay hidden in memory until they're triggered by an outside source? This photo, which I dearly love (having been a Navigator on a U.S. Navy Frigate, and plotted the course to many of those destinations), reminded of a line from the Doors song, "Land Ho" :
He said "Son I'm going crazy from living on the land.
Got to find my shipmates and walk on foreign sands."

I like the sea voyage adventure feeling the signs give to this shot. Very pretty photo.

Not bad at all but personally, I think that the signs are too underexposed. The sky is bring and my eye immediately goes there instead of the signs.
Also, since the sky/boats are more in focus than the signs, then it's slightly tough to see what the main subject is. I think it would have been slightly better to allow the boats/sky/water background to go "slightly" out of focus and have the signs be tack sharp than the other way around.
Just my opinion.

Can not change focus but I did lighten the signs some.
