Hello there Dale.

It's hard to judge too much from the small image here, but it looks like you've done a good job of capturing all the tones you need for processing, and made the most of the warm low sunshine. You're on the right track here.

Have you had a play yet with Lightroom's black and white processing too? Might be interesting with this subject and compensate a bit for the cloudless sky.

The white smudge on the side of the hull is a bit distracting (lower righthand corner). Other than that you seem to have done a pretty good job.

Looks like a good start As suggested I think black and white might look good. I'd also consider removing the "half" boat on the left hand side on the water

I won't post it in your thread unless you want me to, but I've taken almost exactly that same shot at Pin Mill, although with much harsher light than yours. I tend to shoot JPEG because my camera is better at post-processing than me - and our shots are very similar in terms of shadows & highlights and overall tonal balance

To be honest without the original file. (Was it raw?) it's difficult to say how good of a job you have done.

Could you have gotten some more detail from the sky? We don't know because we don't know what you started with.
I would have done a bit of clean up around the edges and there is a distracting white spot at the bottom of the right had boat.
