Wow - bet people will be out shortly getting the boats ready! I love the point of view here Lorraine - the green in the foreground makes this so much more interesting than the shot would have been without it!

I like the combination of horizontals (branches) and verticals (masts) here which makes the composition interesting.

I like the composition here with the flow of the branches and masts. There is an artistic appeal to the image.
Great one Lorraine. Time to get your bathing suit on and jump in.
