Default Ocean picture

This is my first before and after. I'm still learning so much about PP. I tried to boost the colors just a little bit. Please let me know what you think.
Before:

IMG_1090

After:

IMG_1090_1

Thanks!

sinc ehtis is the before and after section, would you mind sharing what steps you took to arrive at your final image?

To be frank, I am not to fond of the sky in the second image but do like the sea. Now, you could combine the two images and leave the orginal sky and the edited sea yuo'd have a great image!

Thanks for your comments windrider86. All I did to the first edit was to up the color saturation. I've taken your suggestion and pasted the sky from the original into the 2nd picture. Hopefully this will look better.

Second picture looks good Jul. I like the blue sea. May I suggest that you leave the first one there, so others can compare between your first and second edit.
