 I like the tranquility of this. Not processed. Suggestions?

I think this has a lot of potential and would probably make the colors a bit more deep and saturated. Also, it may benefit from a horizontal crop.

I like the soft tranqility here too. I think you could lose that if you add too much contrast. Also if you go horizontal you'll lose some of the masts, so I'm thinking that this is pretty hard to improve upon. I'll be back to see what you come up with.

What is really neat in this photo is that you have captured a vanishing point. I'd exploit that. You clearly have fore, mid, and background elements to this photo. The fore being the boats, mid being the water and island on the left, and back being the mountain range in the back.

Pull down the contrast to darken the sky (you could do a multiply of the same image. Then add a ND gradient for the mask.
Add contrast to the boats with curves and reverse the same mask.

Finally, crop it horizontally to bring out the sense of depth in the photo.

Something like that.

You could also try a BW conversion through a monochrome channel mix, or even a duotone version.

I'd crop off some of the sky, try to bring out some contrast and direct attention to the boats. This is so pretty and pastel, maybe go a little painterly.
