Hi Greg - I'm trying to work out what I don't like about this image. It just doesn't do it for me I'm afraid.
Perhaps it's a tad over sharpened? I'm trying in my mind to picture a crop I'd like better too - perhaps less of the foreground (although I understand this is the main subject!). I do like the concept, but (to me anyway) it doesn't quite work. Just scrolling down now to have another look, and the view I get does work for me - a crop about four or five widths of timber down from the chair. Makes it more a pano, and I like the result. Hope I'm not being too harsh! Regards *** When getting there is half the fun! ***
Good points. Thanks sheepie, and mceiw. Version 2, I think it is an improvement. I have it in mind to do a BW conversion, just leaving the chair red. Probably a bit cliched, but I won't let that stop me  Greg - - - - D200 etc

A definite improvement Greg, I probably would have gone just a touch more with the cropping, then you would have equal thirds for symmetry between the white sandy line and the black wharf line.

Second version is certainly better Greg. Love the red chair and I would be inclined to clone out the boat - would make for a masterpiece in understatement

Interesting idea to clone out the boat. That may do it for me as well. I don't think that you should make it completely BW with a red chair, but desaturate it somewhat while leaving the red chair as it is, a little more subtle and not quite, as you say, cliche.
How about this version?
A combination rule of thirds and neat-and-in-the-middle. All it needs now is a brick wall and a duck. 
Cheers Dean I intend to live forever. So far, so good.
