Yes I love the point of view too. It lets you fill the frame in an interesting way, pick up a nice contrast against the sky, and still keep the full flavour of the situation underneath and around. If I may be so bold as to be pretentious ... my eye caresses the curves of the tugs bottom, my mind wanders off imagining the history that this boat must have seen. Then my eye is drawn forward along the line of the tug to the contrasting blue/white square looking thing in front of it, and I flit to the left to notice the basic and hard curves of the almost-twin further back, and when I come back to the curves of our centrepiece I admire even more the elegance that some designer has created in this humble work horse. (And if the surrounding land is really as flat as this looks ... are these actually quite a long way from any water?)
