Something Semi Nautical

I've had this shot of a stranded rowboat since February but I finally decided it might make a nice B&W "Gallery Image."

I'd love to hear from the group what works and what doesn't...

Thanks in advance:

Not enough depth.

If the shot were taken at more of an angle, there would be a foreground and a middle ground, at least. That would give some illusion of depth.

Fair enough.

The logistics prevented it (about 12' below me at the base of a sea wall and mud that would have come up to mid thigh probably) but yours is an honest assesment.

Thanks for taking the time...

If "Yosemite Sam" had a real Canon, he'd shoot that rabbit every time! Come spring, my ferret and I are loading the 40D and, well... we're going weasel hunting.
