Processed from RAW, tweaked curves, saturation, contrast, brightness; a touch of neat image, resize, VERY slight sharpening, save for web.
Advanced editing sure would have been useful for this one *sigh*.
The original straight out of camera looked rather pale, but obviously there was a lot of color lurking in those clouds, just begging to be released.

Great job! A beautiful pic, with great color and movement in the sky and water. The mountain peering from behind the clouds and haze is gorgeous. I also liked the city on the distant shore that seems to be catching some beams of sunlight to light it up. I am a bit puzzled about the 'beach' aspect though. I do see a pile of logs that may be washed up on the beach, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. But so you know, my thoughts on the matter are that a water shot, or even a shoreline shot, does not always mean 'beach' in my opinion. Raising the original score I gave from a 4 to a 5, to reflect my 'benefit of the doubt'.
decent composition, but I wonder if you had other choices...perhaps moving to your right here, so that the boat was on the left of the mountain...or, panning the frame right so that the mountain is not centered...the foreground being out of focus is, unfortunately, distracting...I think you would have been well served to utilize that one dominant log or the post in the water as your foreground, rather than so much of the beach.
