This actually had a lot of potential, but was poorly realized.
You might enjoy experimenting with really low ISO (like 100) and a really narrow aperture (like around f/16 or f/22) with a really slow shutter speed.
That will really enhance the smoothness and reflectiveness of the water as well as give a tiny bit of softness to the overall image.
A strong hand with the contrast and a 'glow' type filter would then create something quite pleasant.

I like the repetitive pattern of the boats.

The reflections are ok, but I spend most of my time looking at the weeds towards the bottom. Perhaps if they were cropped out?!?1

Not sharp enough to score well, I fear... but I like the abstractness of it.
Not voting yet.

This seems quite out of focus to me, but I think the composition has potential.

good refelctions, and nice lines with created by the boats

I really like the top of this photo (although the boats could have been focused sharper). The bottom half with the weeds is distracting. It would have been better composed without the weeds and with more boats.

reflections are generally easier when the water isn't dirty (jokes)
the plant light ruins the reflections (if that is what you were going for) I like the lines you get with the boats (? if that is what they are) but the plant life isn't sharp

Good composition. Pity about the scattering of water plants in the foreground.

Good idea. It needs a bit more color and detail to really stand out.

I like the line of boats, would like to see more of them. Photo looks a bit dark and dull.

I'm not really sure what the focus here is supposed to be... I guess the reflection of the boats (I assume those are boats) on the water? Its not very clear; I think a different angle would have been a better choice.

I like the blue of the boats. Would have liked more of them and less of the water.

personally (and I don't count) I would have cropped out the weeds in the front...it took me a minute to realize you were talking about the reflection of the boats...I was looking in/near the weeds...they do not add but distract

Lacks sharpness, the colors are rather bland as well is the composition.

Lacking in subject. Title says reflections and all I see is glare. A circular polarizer would have helped here to reduce glare. Needs some PP work.

might have been more interesting to focus on the plants rather than on the boats

The foreground looks out of focus, a wider apeture would have helped this, (unless this was your intention?) The boats make for an almost leading lines but we are to perpendicular to the natural line the rear of the boats make. The reflections the boats make in the water is very nice. Best of luck.
