An unusual and challenging subject Denis. I suspect you enjoy painting boats and water as you have handled them very well in this painting. Beautiful colour – especially around the bow of the boat that works so well to draw the eye to the focal point. You have handled the water well too.

Perhaps my only hesitation is the land and sky behind the boats. If you had used a slightly darker blue/grey on the hills, made them a little taller, and softened the top edge slightly – almost blurred them into the sky, they would have added to the feeling of early morning haze and would have resolved a slight loss of definition around the back of the ship and the superstructure of the rear tug.

 Sweeping the front edge of the cirrus cloud up and out of the top right edge would have given an added dimension to the sky and would also have helped direct the viewer to the focal point.

But I don't want to sound too 'picky'– it is a very nice piece of work.

I like the broken colors on the hull of the large ocean liner, when you squint at it, they blend nicely, good job.  One thing I don't like is the small tug "kissing" the large one.  Hope you don't mind the critique.  I don't see anything else.  Excellent job on the reflections.

Great Job Denis.  Its all about contrasts here:  Contrasts of size, color, values, edges, texture, and space.
