It is always interesting to see a new take on an old image. I have a couple of gondolas shots like this but with them fading into the mist on a stock still day.

There is a bit of grain in the posts, which look a little oddly exposed: to confirm that the only things moving in the image are the boats and the water (and to show that the blur is intentional), the posts need (for me) to be solid and cleanly photgraphed. The flash on the LH boat is a little uneven compared to the boat on the RHS (if desired, this could be fixed in PS, I am sure). The movement on the RHS is a little odd: the boat further back looks as though it has been cut off at its midpoint.

I am not sure that this is an image that I would buy over a more traditional shot - the gondola's shape and sweeping motion is not well conveyed by the up/down movement of the swell, creating a tension in this image that I find very interesting but not aesthetically pleasing. Artistically I think that it has a lot of value (though I would like to see the moorings absolutely crisp, solid and unmoving from that perspective).

I see this very large on a wall somewhere, good vision and choice of colour range and tones.

The image overall has got a nice feel, and yes, would do quite well in some sort of an artistic portfolio.
