Default Clouds a go-go

This is straight from the camera. I am not sure if it is too top heavy, should I have moved the horizon up more? Also, there is a bird in the sky, too distracting?

I would not move the horizon, since the clouds are the star here. I would however straigthen the horizon and play with the saturation some to get the colors a bit more vibrant. Nice pic otherwise though.

The bird? I didn't notice before you told us about it.

The clouds are wonderful, just need a little work on the contrast. The thing I do find distracting is the bright white object in the sea. I woould definitely clone that out.
