Really interesting perspective! It’s a great choice of location and subjects. You clearly have an eye for what’s pretty out there in the world.
As for a critique that could improve your future photography:
It’s a bit blurry. Since you had a relatively still scene I’d say next time take the time to drop your f-stop to maybe 4.0 and raise your shutter speed the same number of major f-stops to compensate (ie. 8.0 -> 5.6 -> 4.0 goes 1/125 -> 1/250 -> 1/500). This will keep your exposure about the same as 9.0 and 1/125 while increasing the separation between your focus and the background. It will also compensate for any camera shake while taking the shot. 1/500 or higher is particularly good for this.
If the intent was to show the divide between the water and the town it also couldn’t hurt to rotate a bit to the right. There’s a good deal of busy background in the left side of the photo and not only a bit of the town.
If the intent is to capture the black boat then it would make sense to get a little closer. A longer focal length like 85mm would also be great here.
Thanks for the tips :)
I unfortunately didn’t notice that it’s a bit blurry, a dropped aperture would’ve been nice too. I’m a huge fan of longer focal lengths, but unfortunately I’m still using the kit lens, which only goes up to 55mm. I’m looking forward to upgrading though!

Welcome! And yeah versatility is great. FWIW 50-55mm is my favorite focal length and I personally shoot either that or crop to it 90% of the time. But the longer lengths give you that nice compression of the background and more opportunity for bokeh.
