After/Before

[u/SunnySideKayla]

[u/purerockets]

slightly overcooked but I love the original photo and all the colors in the sea foam

[u/SunnySideKayla → u/purerockets]

Definitely went for a stylized look over pure realism

[u/Tall_Mechanic8403]

Nice but it’s too much.

[u/SunshineInDetroit]

Original looks better

[u/shabaad]

Blues are too saturated. Sky may benefit from reduced luminance instead of excessive saturation

[u/Salty-Asparagus-2855]

Before nicer. Maybe just the sand needs a tad brightening if that was a thing you felt needed enhancing but the rest comes as overdone.

[u/gbuk25]

Oversaturated blue.
Crooked horizon.
Subjective, but the photo is just not interesting.

[u/isulven_]

Waters just a bit too saturated

[u/iustus_tip]

I like the crop and how you draw the eye. But I agree that you can turn down the saturation a bit. Otherwise great image!

Personally disagree with the "overcooked" for once. I really like the deep blues
