Strange that it loses a bit of crispness when viewed using Lightbox, fullscreen looks very vibrant.

It looks like a shot with a fairly heavy yellow colour cast and suspect you have pushed it a bit too hard. The colour of the water and the sky do not look quite right. The sun is on the camera left side, so one would not expect yellow tones in the sky that is straight in front of you, but rather a deeper blue.

There is a lot of foreground that really does not add to the image, so cropping a bit of that might be worth considering and it looks like a slight clockwise rotation might be in order as well.

I agree about some form of crop to concentrate on a definite subject; but instead of Manfred's version you could try leaving the foreground intact and cropping the top a little. Or even taking a little from top and bottom an going to a 5 x 4 ratio. Several alternatives are possible.

Any of the alternatives look acceptable to me. So you can try whichever you think appears best to you or remain with your current version, they all work OK.
