Well-composed, good color and sharpness. And an original idea. My only suggestion is to maybe take a little bit off the left side so the picture stops right at the edge of the house. Nice job.

Great subject. Interesting to show two different ages of a city, with the more modern building in the background.

Comment by Neil:
Nice idea. While I sort of like the soft pastel look here, it seems to me this is "underprocessed"; it might be improved by using USM to sharpen it a bit, upping the saturation slightly, applying levels or boosting contrast a bit, and possibly cropping to get the boat out of horizontal center. Where to crop is a little issue: it wold be nice to have only this boat in the shot, but to get rid of the tug would require cropping too tightly on the tall ship. Still, this is advanced editing, and a crop with a little "removal" might have been a good idea. Or more simply, you could try cropping on the left. After the challenge, if you want, I'd be happy to help you play with this a bit.

I like the contrast between the homes and the city behind it, also the way the houses really stand out from the background.
