 Took this a few years ago while camping in Cape Cod. Took the jeep onto the sand (National Seashore) and faced the Atlantic. Found this fishing boat floating around with birds following. I exposed for the sky, looking to keep the boat low key.

This reminds me a lot of an old photo of mine of a sunrise over Mt. Rainier (I have a print version posted). On that one, I made separate masks for ocean and sky and did tone (Curves) adjustments separately to bring out the color and contrast in the sky; see if you can bring out the patterns of the rays/beams. To my eye it might benefit from a slight CCW rotation.

You did a good job exposing for the sky, but it would be nice to see the water brightened just a bit, especially around the boat. I agree with the other comment about B&W.

If you were up for it, I'd like to see this in black and white. Crop to bring in the boat closer and then, although you wanted it in low key, I'd want to see it lightened a bit for detail. This would be interesting with some dodging and burning. Love the moody seacape tone.

Lovely shot... the sky is really cool, and the light coming from the clouds is really nice. I wouldnt necessarily crop any more ocean out... i kinda like the 50/50 composition here, but I would fix the tilt in the horizon. Nice photo.

Yes, I agree with [thumb]lynnesite[/thumb]. I'd crop some of the ocean out, level up the horizon and I'd also try to bring out more of the orange tones in the sky.

Lovely view! I think the sky is more important than the sea, and would probably crop some of that foreground away. There's a one to two degree horizon tilt to the right you might want to adjust.
