One of my favourite shots from San Fran trip last summer.
One of the nicest things to me (not anymore cos I am deaf now) but the clinking sounds of the rigging whwn theres a slight breeze.

Having lived in the area for many years I think the shot is great, and the water looks really clean.
i think I would crop the left side. i don't think it adds anything

Nice shot. The left side may not add anything to the photo but I think cropping it out would definitly take something away from it. Its a busy shot and the eye is lead down the line of boats to the land then more slowly back on the left leaving a chance for slight pause before returning back up the right side where there is so much to digest. Cropping it certainly works but puts all the attention on the larger boats in the foreground. Just an opinion.

Thanks ... I tried several different crops, both portrait and landscape, and settled on this one. Can't articulate for sure why I prefer this one.

I like the crop as is. Maybe breaks a few rules but it works, well, in this case. Nice eye. :thumbup:

Thanks ... as I replied to the other person who brought up the crop issue, I did try a variety of crops. This is the one I liked the best ... but not sure why. As shown in the next shot from just slightly farther along the same marina, I usually have a bit of a bent towards loads of symmetry in my shots (maybe its an engineer thing) , even though that may break some "rules"
same Sausalito marina ...
