Nice photo with colourful and strong leading line into the distance. Nice contrast between foreground and the back ground. Lovely.

Location
I took this photo at a small sailboat dock by MIT. My family and I were vacationing around New York and Boston for spring break.Time
We were strolling around the campus of MIT and had just seen Harvard as well. We walked down a road that ran alongside the river, and it must have been the mid afternoon when I took this photo.Lighting
I did not use any extra lighting. The positioning of the sun at the time was just right.Equipment
I used a Nikon D3300 with a Nikkor 18-55 mm wide-angle lens.Inspiration
The year before, I was taking visual imagery (photography) at my high school, and we were learning about "aspects of art," whatever they are called. One was repetition, and one I saw multiple sailboats lined up side-to-side, I knew that if I took a photo, I would be taking advantage of the repetition aspect.Editing
The only post-processing I did was with the built-in photo editor for the Photos application on Windows 10. I used it to manipulate saturation and temperature to bring out the colors on the sailboats.In my camera bag
I carry a Nikon D3300 camera with a Nikkor 18-55mm lens and a 55-200 mm lens.Feedback
Try to find an angle that takes advantage of natural lighting. That way, you can carry less on your photography trips.
