Larry, this is quite interesting what you say...
1. I deliberately did not max out the contrast, so at to keep all (both
dark and bright) areas of the frame within limits and to prevent
saturation. According to my LightRoom, I have minimal dark saturation
(bottom left) and no bright saturation whatsoever...
Perhaps using the adjustment brush on the clouds, as well as tweaking
the high end of the curves.
2. I see your point about different crop. I was really attracted by the
bright clouds just on to of the towns across the bay and I thought that
although the top half and bottom half of the frame could be considered
as separate pictures, they kind of play together. Again, not arguing,
merely trying to *voice* my reasoning.
I definitely see what you're doing. Another crop might be most of the
city at the bottom of the frame, leaving enough to frame the bay.
It's a nice image, and I like what you're trying to do. It would have
been nice if the skipper of the ship had come in on a more photogenic
path, but they tend to be inconsiderate like that.
My gut feeling is that it could be a better image if you're willing to
sacrifice a little bit of the good, to concentrate on what is great
about it.

Be brutal and honest :-).
In general, I like it. It works well, as Dan said, in black and white.
I have two niggles with it. The first one is that the bright clouds
look a bit blown out. The other is that with the ship centered on the
left side the composition feels a bit "off". I realize that both the
clouds and the city at the bottom are part of what you were aiming to
get in the photo, but another crop, without so much of the clouds at
the top might work better.
