In response to a critique, I desaturated the blue of the water.

Nikolay - I reduced the brightness and increased deepened the shadows a bit. Hope you like it.

Some may find the "Z" sign in the lower right hand corner a bit distracting, so here is an alternative cropped version. The trade-off is loss of the mast reflections but this could go either way.

I also cooled the color just a bit to add a little more mystery to the clouds.

Perhaps you might like it.

I boosted the shadow highlights to give more detail to the gentleman walking toward the tables and to give more depth to the overhanging tree.

i wanted to de-emphasize the surroundings and give more emphasis to the subjects by desaturating the color channels except the reds.
