Hey morfasie... The focus looks fine on the original. I think the smaller resize blurs the white writing on the left of the boat

The greens where there - on the boat and also some algae on the rocks. I added some green and blue higlights to the water. Then made the darker areas on the water darker and the lighter areas lighter to give it that shine.

I added the sky from another photo... the original has plain blue skies.

cheers

It seems a bit odd having such a tiny part of the jetty showing down the left side. I would probably either have taken another step back to get more of it in or have trimmed it out entirely, with some trimming on the other sides to balance.
