As someone already pointed out on the other version of this photo, the focus effect makes it look like a model.  I had the same thought.  There are two sides to that.  Interesting technique, but I'm not sure it is working for this photo for me personally.

Part of my fascination with wrecks and old forgotten modes of transport is the resonating stories of the people that used them.  Reducing it to a model severs that important emotional link.

I think this might have even more impact with some context from the river this boat 'lived' on.  That would get me thinking about what it has been through in its lifetime.
