 HDR image converted to B&W

My concern with this shot is the amount of clutter in the photo. Lots of background details competing with the boat in the foreground, plus a burned out spot in the center of the photo. DPCers generally prefer simpler compositions and no burnout. I just wanted to see how this would score with the voters despite these issues. This is the first time I recall ever converting an HDR image to black and white.

Nice timing with the sun shining through at just the right moment. I like the B&W, but the sharpening seems a little bit too much.
