Hello and welcome to DPS.

It may be personal taste but your shot does not work to my eye. The horizon should be straight. The shot looks a bit gray and has no life even though there is the wave action. The vignetting really does not add to the shot. SORRY.

Hi Iheartsd and welcome to DPS. Like Martin says you need to straighten the horizon unless you intend to disorientate your viewer, which in this case is obviously not the intention. Remove the vignetting and colour enhance by increasing the blues and see what you think.

Welcome to DPS.....I personally wouldn't do anything different. I love this pic the way it is....black and white really works well here.

Welcome to DPS. I like the B&W but as stated above I would definitely straighten the horizon. I'm sort of mixed on the vignette.
