Levels set black point, on the left shoulder of subject. Then color varation decreased greens, and increasing blues and reds which were to much so I desaturate some of the colors, negative 28 for blues. Rotated 1.75 degrees to the right. Cropped bigger image to move subject closer, then resized for web. Used neat image to sharpen and filter.

This is an interesting photo with a lot of potential. The head on shot of the sun is too harsh -- looks more like a nuclear explosion than dawn. But the reflection on the water it creates and the silhouette of the man work well. So, I think your angle is right on. I'd just like to see more of the silhouetted man against the sparkling water -- and keep the sun as your light source -- not your subject. I give this photo a 7.
