I just fixed one thing: The colours.
I used Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0, but it should be possible to use something else. I just made some small changes.
In details:
Smart fix
Darken highlights

That's it! Not much. I tried to crop it, but I found out that this is OK.
Have a nice day!

Hi Serge, You have a great scene here but I have placed the horizon at the top third of the scene, following the Rule of Thirds. I brightened it a little and sharpened it too. I hope you like it.
Cheers
Janice

I received some negative critiques about the presence of the wall on the foreground. I decide to crop it, but I left it in the original photo b/c I wanted to enhance the sense of depth in the photo, and create a sort of "Z" line with the horizon ... bad experiment, I suppose! Bye, Sergio

Used crop tool to raise the lower edge somewhat and the stamp tool to delete sign in foreground. Result is a slightly different effect, yet still keeps the depth and sea gulls.

Tried to adjust levels on the blow-out white areas on water but it was not effective.

Sergio:

All work done in PhotoShop but any image p-rocessing software can do the following:

1 - Added a curves adjustment layer. Since exposure was ok I added a point at the middle of the curve to lock in brightness. I then added a point at the shadows quarter-tone and pulled down 1-3 points to darken shadows. I also added a point at the highlights quartedr-tone and pulled up 1-3 points. These three points added contrast and removed the foggy look and punched up the colors.
2 - flatten and save as a jpg.

Hope you like the results.
