Your comments are appreciated and noted abc1234, but how much metadata the photographer decides to share will
always be up to the photographer in this section, and for that matter the rest of the forum as well. Thank you.
And btw...what did you say your name is?

I do not share everyone's enthusiasm about this shot. To make sure I was seeing the right thing, I downloaded the picture and was disappointed to see the shot information removed from the metadata. What jumps out at me are the harshness of the tones and the image sharpness. They look artificial or manipulated. Next, the building to the left is warm as if lit by a late afternoon sun. The shadows in the center are too cool while the walls to the right are disturbingly cooler than the building on the opposite side.
The boat looks unnaturally red. Finally, the composition is unremarkable. I like these flat, head on compositions of seemingly mundane subjects but this one does not work for me.

Thank you for your comments. I accept all comments if given in the right spirit. The omission of metadata was not a deliberate act which I will try to include in future, although it will remain optional.

I did not wish to suggest that you intentionally omitted the metadata. The likely reasons for not including all of it are simply not thinking to include everything or the program strips it out. One good reason for including some or all the metadata is that it includes any copyright information.
For me, the only relevant data are those relating to exposure, focus and flash if I have a concern about exposure or sharpness. Knowing the camera and lens is merely an extraneous curiosity.
I agree that including the metadata is the poster's prerogative. However, providing it may enrich the feedback.

I really like to red boat. I would make it the main feature of the image, so I would crop out some of the annoying background structures.

I take your point but the old buildings are part of the 'character' I was trying to capture.
