I'd say two things detract for me... One is that it seems generally unsharp, probably because of shooting at f/4 and handheld (guessing) at 1/80. I'd probably opt for ISO 800 and an aperture of f/8 or higher
The second is that I find that with 'boardwalk receding in to distance perspective' shots, a centered boardwalk works better in vertical/portrait compositions than it does in horizontal landscapes. That being said, I also like the idea, the sky was nice, and I'd go back and work that scene, possibly even setting the camera right on the boardwalk itself.
