Beau Hudspeth Photography 		  I like the overall look, comp and color of the photo but feel that there could be a couple small areas for improvement -- one you can fix the other you can't ;)

1) The one you could fix would be adjusting the contrast a small amount (I would use levels in photoshop) to increase the difference between the mid-tomes and the really dark ones. Add a bit more saturation to the cyan and blue channels - both adjustments would also make the clouds 'pop' more.

2) as for the one you can't fix. If it were an option at the time of the shot, would be to stand one something in order to to get the horizon line further away from the boat in the foreground. This would accomplish two things.
a) move the horizon further from the center of the image - you usually want to keep it from cutting your image in half.
b) you would be able to see a bit of the suns reflection in the water behind the boat - adding a bit more depth to the image.

Keep up the great shots!
