Simple, clean, uncluttered. I like the way the fog blurs the margin between sky and water. I also like the tight composition, no space wasted.

Black is a tough color for a subject. The inside of the boat shows detail, and I think the stern of the boat does as well. But most of the hull does not. Such photographic 'blank space' will frequently suck the life out of a photo. What is interesting and a little distracting is that the reflection of the black surface in the water appears to allow us to see below the surface all the way to the bottom. But, frustratingly, there's not much to see there and our efforts seem wasted. This doubles this blank space, and now almost half of the photo is rendered uninteresting - the eye circles the picture in the margins.

In any case, it's good photo.
