Love it!

Sure thing - it’s an excellent composition regardless of my nitpicking. I’ve struggled a bit with drone photography and this has given me ideas!

I like this a lot. Though I do think the “human” elements do detract from the desired effect a bit. Without them it’s more “abstract” and just leaves the lines, colors and textures which are fantastic.

Beautiful shot!

That’s fair - the loss of the mast and things were what I didn’t like about losing the context.

What were you trying to achieve and what would you like critique on?

Generally? I like the scene - and ironically I love the colors. The reds, yellows and blues are nice. But it’s rather busy overall for me. The bicycle is on equal footing visually with the man and competes for attention. The blue/red items in the left-side corners are bright enough to pull my attention to the edge and away from the man as well.

I feel like I want more of the “man” and less of the “stuff on the boat”.

I cropped in on him as an example of what I’m thinking - though it does lose the port background and some context of it being a “boat”:

But it’s your photo. This is to my taste not yours.

I feel the same way. I rather like the colors and the oddly “retro” feel coming from the edit. But it feels very unbalanced. The log in the lower-right pulls the eye but then it’s cut-off in a way that’s unsatisfying.

Darktable and Rawtherapee are two great image editors depending on what you’re looking for. They don’t do the “have an AI recreate fake things in my photos” stuff though.
