Ummm...how does he get to his boat? (Which looks a bit small...).
Light source in original pic is from left, so try to adjust the shadow...

Ok, fixed the shadow and adjusted some proportions. Better? As for getting the boat he grabs the rope and pull it to shore, or wades in after it which I wouldn't recommend in a lightning storm...

Boat is still to small,fix this before contest is finish...and gl....

Its got the humour vote, but not much else. Although it is well put together and actually doesn't look too bad. Maybe you should think about entering this contest also: http://www.pxleyes.com/photoshop-contest/7135/old-barn.html
