I like it. Rich color, interesting shape and detail. I feel that the boat in the foreground would be strong enough to stand on it's own. I would have liked to have seen just the blue boat shot at a lesser angle, and not quite so tight at the bow. I would also crop out #2 boat. Great subject and something we here in the States don't get to see a lot of.
Thanks for shareing.

Thanks for that

Nice scene and colors. What are these canal boats used for? - Terry

They used to haul freight many years ago, the canals were the motorways of the 19th century. Coal, Iron, oil, pottery, the list went on and on.

These days people use them as waterborne caravans on holiday, some people still live in them!

Very nice and sharp, great colors.
I believe I would like to see more boat and less grass though. However, the curve is very nice as well.

Nice color, not super saturated, but a really good balance. I think I would like to see just a little more space in front of the boat, but it's acceptable. It also seems a little devoid of something in the big grassy area - perhaps the fellow in the back could have walked up and stood there for you? Too late :)
