A nice shot.
I'd be looking for more contrast via the Curves tool.
I'd also dodge/lighten the darker areas inside the boat.
Probably also Burn in the clouds a bit more to make the sky a bit more 'heavy'

i am new and not a pro ciritic, but there is way too much gray (the sky) in the photo for my test.

It needs some punch for sure. I do like the composition. Like MA suggested..the dark area of the bot need to be a little lighter.

I agree with MAs comments, but the thing I'd really want changed is to have me behind the camera instead of you. Looks like an amazing locale!

Too be honest this just looks like a tourist shot, the only thing that moves me is that I've never been there.

I think it's a little better than a tourist snapshot myself due to the composition at least.
How would you go about improving this shot do you think Ocular? Any ideas might be helpful to Gazl ;)

Yep you need some contrast to improve this picture, if you are using photoshop try duplicating this channel and setting the blend mode to overlay, just for fun.
Thank you, all, for your feedback! I agree with adispi and scorpio e about boosting some colors. About the details in the very dark area: I tried to take them on top...
