Love the focus of the composition. The shipwreck is certainly a wonderful object of interest and focus. Love how the surf provides an 'errie mist' (the longer exposure really benefited this shot) for wreck and it complements the title very aptly. It makes the ship 'ghostly' and it really sets a mood for this being an errie scene to witness. And it is not just the surf 'mist' that helps set the mood of entering a supernatural world but the pale blues and purples hues. Now just as the long exposure time benefited the composition of the shot it also created a distracting element - namely those city lights that look like the shore off in the background is burning. My first thought is that you could have changed angle to avoid the majority of the light but then that would mean you would have to have taken this as a sraight on shot with us seeing the side profile of the ship. Here you have it at an angle where the front of the ship seems to be sailing right for us - this makes the shot more dynamic and interesting. So, the only other thing I can think of is to crop it closer to the back of the ship and maybe clone out some of those elements.
