Red Boat

Ok I need some help regarding this image. I have entered this image in competitions in the past and it always comes up short. It never gets many comments, even though it was "Editor's Pick" in a contest once. What the heck is wrong with my photo? My personal feeling is that it is just "ordinary" in composition. What do you guys think?

I think it's a nice photo, maybe try cropping the left portion out for a different perspective...trees, sky, boats and reflection is all you really need here in my opinion of course...try it and see what you think...

That's a good idea Mark. I will give it a go with cropping and see what happens.
