The colors are beautiful, I like the slightly desaturated look. Nice composition as well. The gradient in the sky is a bit harsh, maybe. But I like it anyways.

Sort of seems snap-shottish. Albeit, a really good one. Sort of the thing that you would expect to see in a company sales brochure. "Why our shipping company is better than someone else's?
