I like the way you have kept the subdued colours - or created them! My one suggestion is to ease up on the sharpening.

Hi todd, i think you have a nice picture here. I would key on the orange glow and increase the vibrancy and saturation a little more. Decrease the sharpening (you don't want to sharpen the water, only the edges of the waves----make a mask with edge detect and you can sharpen just the edges). I would also clean the image up a little with the clone tool. The birds on the left side next to the edge , and the one's along the bottom edge could get cloned out . One other thing is you have alot of banding in the sky. You might want to back down on the curves tool or what ever you did to cause that.

Thanks that too was my thought on it. I guess the beauty of it is we all see things in different ways. Thanks again
