Workshop Note
hello Nc, you can get free download of irfanview from www.irfanview.net for editing your photos

Your shot is done generally with a good pov and color contrast in bright sun. I have played around with irfanview to do some changes below

.correct tilt by -1.47 CCW
.add contrast and color saturation slightly
.crop the bottom sandy beach so that corner of water edge starts from left bottom corner, and to get roughly 1/3 of beach+water vs the sky
.your original is done quite well with diagonal water edge, note that I cropped to corner point
.sharpen a little (compression losses)
.add frame

I hope that this is providing another optional view for you about the possibilities of shooting and how to edit a photo before you post it.

Cheers, bill
