My drive by and some Topaz added.

Oh, oh! Love the composition and the lighting, Charles. The processing works too. For me though the blown sun is a show stopper. When shooting into the sun, I always bracket so I can blend it in later. You've got a really good pattern in the clouds which would lend itself nicely to cloning out the blown area if you were so inclined. But then the reflection in the water might look out of place. Or maybe you could blend clouds at a reduced opacity over the area to simulate what it would have looked like in real life. If you're ever able to reshoot this, I think you could really make it a winner. It's that good.

Thanks Joel, I'll give your suggestions a try.

Have to clean this one up a bit but do you find it better.
