Interesting picture, Jerry, but it looks a bit grayed out to me. I pulled it into PS and played with curves for a minute and was able to punch it up quite nicely without blowing out the whites.

The morning I was there it was grayer than gray.

I like the overall image but I find the verticals distracting in the sense that they are not vertical (it needs rotating to the left). Also, I think the picture would have benefited from a higher camera angle so the tops of the foreground posts were in the picture.

However, nice capture all the same.

Although I love strawling in harbors, I do not find this picture "special" but I guess that's a question of taste.
My comments ;
The verticals should be vertical. I agree with David.
The composition could be better unless you want to keep the reflection in the water.

There was another harbor shot posted recently, monochrome I think, as suffered from the same problem is this one.

There is just too much busy stuff going on for there to be any point of interest.

I wish I could offer a suggestion is to have to make a shot like this more interesting but I can't. I've been trying the same thing in the south end of Seattle for a long time and I just can't get anything that I want to look at.

When I look at this shot, or the one posted last week, or any of my own, one and the only one thing enters my mind:

"Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale
A tale of a fateful trip
That started from this tropic port
Aboard this tiny ship..."
