maybe a crop off the right and fix the horizon. Other than that its a nice shot. Color might need a touch of adjusting.
It sure does look peaceful.

Yep, I agree with PinBall... lovely peaceful scene... there is a seat and a view just like this back where I come from in Australia (well, around the bay a little in a lovely place called point lonsdale!) ...reminded me of it, thanks.

also one more tip could be to crop top/bottom a little.. to avoid cutting the image in half with horizon...

otherwise a nice pic.. a real serene scene...

I think what he means is that your horizon is not straight. I don't have photoshop, but there will either be a cleverly named function like "Straighten" or something, or else you have to find the rotate controls, and just rotate your photo a few degrees counterclockwise.

Your photo will then be askew, so you will have to crop square again.
