You have done very well with a complex subject Olivia. The wharf, the dinghies, the boat sheds, (apart from a slight perspective problem with the front of the nearest shed), and the yacht obviously resting on the bottom, are all complicated shapes to manage. You have achieved the effect of glittering water in the foreground very well. The only area I have a problem with is the highlight colour on the background  hills. If you look at the blue you have used for the shadows on those hills, they are obviously a long way away. However, the colour you have used for the highlights is not very far at all. This is a very common problem for many painters –  the colours they use on the shadows and highlights of distant objects argue with each other, whether they are mountains, foothills, or even relatively close objects. Just remember that yellows in the landscape disappear quite quickly with distance.
