What stunning and gorgeous colors you have here! Excellent sun reflection in the water. I like how you included a boat for foreground interest and perspective, plus how you've placed it off-center. The clouds almost act as a frame...nice one!

A couple of suggestions:
-Consider your crop: with landscape shots like these, it's best not to crop 1/2 water, 1/2 sky. Better to go with a 'thirds' crop. In your case, perhaps you could crop up from the bottom so your water portion is 1/3...you could also crop down the sky, but then you would lose that deep blue color. I would just play around with it.
-I just now noticed that there are a couple more boats off to the far right...sort of hard to make out and one is cut in half. I would consider just cropping (or cloning) these out because as is, they just distract the eye from your two main subjects: sky and big boat.

Again, lovely shot! Simply beautiful!
