Used Lightzone relight and some HDR and other various things. Then sent to Photoshop for Dodging and Burning and some various saturating. Did some spot healing for dust spots and also noise reduction. Then cropping and save.

I wanted to score your photo at 10. I'm not expert but I see two things that are keeping me from doing that. I think the horizon/vertical are leaning a little to the left and the sky (top left) could have been smoothed out just a tad: it looks kind of pixelated to me. Despite those two knit-picky things I'm still going to score it pretty high at 8.
I'm finding rit ather difficult to differentiate between the clouds, water and masts. Could be an issue with the lighting and/or post-processing, or potentially my monitor.
I won't be the first nor the last but i'll say it anyways. Centering the sun didn't help this shot at all. I like the colours and tones in the sky and the silhouetted masts also add mood to this fine capture. Also, the horizon being centered didn't help either. More water or more clouds would have enhanced the whole scene.
