Sailing at Jones River

Sunfish
Rain was expected so instead of heading to Plymouth as I had planned, I set up at the mouth of the Jones River in Kingston where there was a nice covered picnic area overlooking the marina.     Summer sailing lessons were taking place so parents and their little sailors were coming and going.   There were also some seniors with their coffee and newspapers enjoying the pristine spot, and of course boaters.

With the many marine scenes, river views and distant bay/shoreline vistas, the question was which direction to set up.    The little sailboats tied up to the closest dock got the nod as they really represented the most activity today.  

Composition question to my readers:   Why was it okay to put the starring element exactly in the middle of the painting?
