This seems a bit lacking in contrast and saturation, the scene behind looks like a watercolour painting.
I gave it an S curve to give it some bite!

I prefer your low tide one. The very choppy water spoils this for me.

Thanks all. Dennis this was a problem the water was neither smooth nor raging. But since neither of us has been out for a while it was at least a chance to get some shots.....
Yes, it does look overdone, a case for going back and starting again. I can't really say this one floats my boat![]()
I quite like this, but I think something in between the original and Chris's edit would be best.
Funny, I did do an in between one, but it still didn't bite enough for me, so added a bit more lol

Maybe try a mask to just boost the background?
Perhaps the background should be left as a backdrop rather than an attempt made to bring it to be more than that? It works for me as originally done but does benefit from a bit of a boost.
