I’m enjoying the mood here Doug. It’s fine as is but I’d consider a black and white version.
A black and white version might allow you to get darker darks and give the image more contrast. But I think that the image works as is
Agree with @Nathan_Klein…when I saw this, I really thought it’d be better as a B&W. Not sure how I’d handle contrast - the fog and mood do well with less than more. I’d even be tempted to dodge the shadows of the central boat just a bit - leaving it a tiny bit darker than the others (it is closer). The sun is relatively closer to the top margin than the bottom of the reflected mast - so I might crop from the bottom ever so much as well. Great image - really tranquil scene. Hope it was as quiet as it looks! Nice moment captured.
Lovely image Doug! Love the mood. Funny though, when i first saw the image I didn’t see the sun until I scrolled down. I really liked it without the sun but it doesn’t hurt it either. I agree with the others, a BW would be really nice but BW is my favorite so I may be biased. Excellent work.
While B/W would probably be very nice, I prefer this as presented. Just enough color peeking through the fog. I also like including the sun.
Same opinion as @Jim_Gavin.
And I think that increasing the contrast would do no good for the foggy mood.
Processing these kind of images is often a matter of personal taste.
Doug,
Fantastic mood and atmosphere here. I can just hear the quietness in the harbour - well, all except for a distant fog horn.
Love as presented. No nits or suggestions.

Have you considered a crop that doesn’t include the whole sun but just a sliver at its very bottom?
I guess the decision to make is always how low to the ground should the shot be taken from. Do you want the reflection to be the same size as the mast or smaller?
