The sky is great and you've got some beautiful reflections in the water with the rippling sand a really great focal point. The foreground however is very dark and really distracts from the amazing sky. I find myself wanting to be able to see more of the scene but I cannot.
I think it would be beneficial to try using aeb (auto exposure bracketing) in camera and seeing whether you can blend the images for a more even exposure. NOT hdr but you can still do exposure fusion in Photomatix and get some good results. This is the technique I used before going down the grad filter road.
Of course if you don't like the idea of aeb you could always try just doing skyscapes, capturing the amazing clouds and colour and therefore you wouldn't have the distracting dark foreground. Just a few thoughts.
Cheers,
Shelley
