My first comment was not detailed enough, sorry. I try to correct it now. I'd mask three different areas on the original shot (water, sky, ship) and apply different postprocessing techniques on them (curves on sky to enhance the blues and brighten the clouds, mostly dodge on ship, mostly burn on water if any). But before anything, I'd level the sea and clone out the sensor dust spots.
I just checked your expo. While 1/4000s at ISO400 seems equivalent to 1/1000s at ISO100 (apart from noise) I found that longer expo almost always means more detail in shadows. You know what I mean, instead of dodging at PP, try to use slower shutter during shooting. |

| Thanks for the response, I uploaded the newly edited image. I was able to bring about more contrast in the sky, but it was hard to keep the ship detail since it was so dark, I'll have to do a bit more dodging/burning on the ship I believe. let me know what you think, Thanks. |

There's great opportunity in this image.
The composition is just good. Now to the other hand.
First of all, straighten it because the water pours on the viewer's left leg. Second, the sky needs more contrast. Third, I'd dodge some details in the ship. Try these and please submit the resulting image. |
