The composition is fairly basic, but there are some important aspects: The focal points are clearly the dark boats, the sunrise and its reflection.

Everything else is really just there to create a sense of context and atmosphere. The focal points are positioned off-center around the middle. There is an interesting clash between light and dark where the sunrise reflection meets the dark green shadows. The sunrise reflection represents a strong verticle line in the painting, despite it being made up of short, horizontal dashes. The dark green shadows in the foreground are spaced out and as a whole, represent a loose horizontal line.

The horizon line barely exists. There are just some buildings and faded blue shapes in the distance which suggest where land meets the sky. The horizon line is positioned slightly above center. Many artists avoid placing the horizon line directly in the center as it tends to appear unnatural. Depth is created by the gradual fading of objects as they recede into the distance. Also, the relatively cool colors used around the horizon line push that area back in perspective, whilst the warm colors used for the top of the sky come forward.
