I am obliged by your welcome and the time you spent to comment the photo, I do not know if I should process in Adobe in order to darken a little bit the photo. I would like to have comments on further digital processing
Quite a good shot of the old ghost ship.
I think the photo looks good as is , but if you really want to process it, ya could add to the saturation to bring out and separate some of those rich rust tones, and you'll see jacking up the mid tone contrast a hair will not only darken some areas for you but also bring out some detail in the shore line and possibly give you some variance in the texture of the sea. ( adjusting the mid tones is one of my favorite tools. )
The more you experiment with your program you'll find many different ways to bring out the effect that you'll enjoy . Remember to keep a copy of the original for those experiments gone bad !

What a nice and worm community. Thanks everyone.
Fred I will try your tips, look wonderfull.
What a striking image. The beauty of the unblemished coast set against the rusting wreck of a vessel. Fascinating stuff.
With regard to digital processing - keep in mind that the camera cannot see as the eye can. IMO, it is not dishonest to tweak the image a bit to bring it closer to the scene as you actually saw it. And sometimes it's just plain fun to do outrageous stuff with photos too.
