Due to a usefull crituque I leveled the horizon and applied a cooling

filter. How does it compare to the original image?

donald, straightening the horizon helped, but it still looks crooked, i suspect it's an optical trick based on the shape of the sandbar/island. maybe crop out the horizon altogether?

as for the cooling filter--i would have recommended the opposite, a warming filter. It all looks too blue to me.

all that said, i will complement you on finding a unique angle. it almost looks like a winding road, which I think is why I clicked on it in the first place.
