Plein air - Malay Village, Sarawak River

I went back to my hometown in Sarawak, Malaysia (in Borneo island) two weeks ago to attend my cousin's wedding and managed to do one plein air painting one morning.

The scene is a malay village at the opposite bank of Sarawak River which flow through the heart of Kuching city. I was seated at the waterfront, on the other side of the bank, looking across the river. This is what I see...



This is me with my painting...



and here's the completed painting...
Half sheet of Fabriano Artistico, painted with W&N, Rembrandt, Schmincke, M.Graham artist grade watercolour paints.



I took about 3 hours to finish this. I think it's OK, but definitely not one of my best as I struggled to get a focal point from this composition. Anyway, I'm just happy to have painted something. Critiques and comments welcome as usual.
