What do you think about this image:

The foreground thing (don't know what to call these, even in German ;) is a bit too centered, I guess. Do you agree? What other things could be changed?

I'm thinking b&w.

I would move to the right so that the front mooring is just out of the picture and concentrate on the single line of moorings and do the photo as a vanishing point shot with the VP near the center of the photo
try different focal points (nothing in this shot seems to be in focus)
- focus on the 1st mooring
- use tripod or support the camera and raise the aperture a few f stops and go for a longer shutter time to get everything in focus
- focus halfway along the line (not my favorite style)
try sunset/sunrise shot

try and crop to include the first Two Thirds of the image. (from left to right.) - so the 2 poles are *just* inside the image. (with a little space after them).

keep the same width/height ratio.

convert to grayscale...??

Thanks for your comments! The lack of sharpness is not due to camera shake (come on, it was taken at 1/320th! ;), but rather due to me not sharpening the image after resize - and maybe also due to the relatively low JPEG quality setting used.
It's interesting that two people commented that I should convert it to grayscale. I liked the colors, the combination of blue, green, and brown.

Thanks again!
