Great composition and subject. That said, I hate your pp. Why did you overprocess this beautiful image? This is an example of the evils of photoshop. Sorry to be so gruff! But, I see a potentially great photo here! I'm so disappointed you've caused such haloes around the masts with dodge/burn and destroyed the shadow/highlight interplay in the ship. The sky looks like end-of-days. There are horrid, black/dark gray vignettes in the upper left and top. This is not an image anyone would every see with one's eyes. You've jumped over the edge of image manipulation. I certainly hope you'll accept these heartfelt comments as constructive criticism.

Love the tone mapping on this... some things don't look good with this much but this particular scene does... love the subtle colors!

I really like your processing technique here....overdone in a good way! Feels like a vintage maritime postcard! *7*
