Early start

at the ramp.

Lots of beautiful angles and shadows there too Very nice composition with good verticals and diagonals through the corner, lines leading to the centre of interest etc

Not sure I like the sepia treatment though - any particular reason to try to warm it up so much?

Hopefully, others will offer some other CC

Unintentional Alan I hesitate to admit, (Bumpted a button on the camera which gave me sepia instead of landscape presets).. and then after the upload I thought it looked ok!

I agree with what Alan said. Great composition

I quite like the sepia, but I found your tones a bit too purple. I had a go at a more sepia effect to my liking. Pretty similar, but more warm. What do you think?

The other thing I noticed was the focus.Where did you focus to get this shot? Looks like you focused on the planks just in front. The boat looks OOF, which I find distracting. The eye is drawn to the boat ( as it should be!) and finding it not as clear as it should be, is unfortunate. Am I being too fussy? (Say no!!) But that is what I saw, so there!!

You're absolutely right Charles I did focus short to get detail in the foreground patterns thinking that the 12mm lens would cope ok with the rest, but lesson learned there. It's a lens I don't use often being fully manual for both aperture and focus but I am slowly finding out what it can and can't do.

I put up the shot as it was a foggy morning with early morning sun lighting the mist which gave a softer feel to the scene. But I agree the boat should have been sharper.

The tone is simply a matter of taste. I don't mind it either way. It's not meant to be retro and I like your version too.
