Composition (content)
This is a composition that makes you think and that is the strongest point of it. It is indeed obvious, but you need to look at it, it is not a click 'n go image. :)
I guess it is the ramp to the ferry.
Very good colors. Nice red, beautiful blue sky tones and a bluegreen sea.
I think that this is taken around 12.00, when the sun is at the highest point in the sky. The angle of the shadow is very steep and the exposure information hints a very bright situation.
Shooting this scene at that time of the day has probably caused the too bright concrete and blown out whites of the ship. No exposure compensation can prevent this, only shooting earlier in the moring or later in the afternoon. The result would be more shadow and warmer light that gives better contrasts. Around noon on a sunny day at the equator is the worst time for photography, but it is also the time when most people have their lunch break.
I think the ship as it is now, with those bright whites, is a bit distracting.
The angle at which you shot this and the position of the horizon is very nice.
Background
Blue. :)
Camera Work (Technical)
Sharpness, focus and exposure (given the time of day) are good. The soft water is caused by the relatively slow shutter, but that is just a note, not a problem.
Digital Processing (technical)
Sharpening is on the edge but good.
My opinion
Funny, but not special, I think that I would have liked to see more of the left and in better lighting.
