Increased the structure of the water, darkened the highlights to reduce over exposure of the boats. The shot was a bit tricky, I wanted to go higher up but it's in the outer controlled airspace of an airport which restricts altitude to 50m AGL

Does anyone else think that boats should park the other way in a space like this? Look how much better they would fit if they backed into their spots.

Depends on a large part how deep the water is right at the edge. The bows of the boats are largely on top of the surface. The stern of the boats sit lower in the water, and when lowered the outboard motors will sit a foot or more under the surface. It’s very possible that at low tide the prop could hit bottom when backing in…

Lol yeah the geometry of the noses would pack tighter. However, you could get a situation where you can't get out because the noses are all angles in towards each other
