Thanks for all the comments.

I struggled with how much to brighten the boat in post. It was quite dark, the foreground lit only by a dim streetlight. I decided not to lighten the boat as the focus was the sky, and thus generally wanted the brightest area to be the sky.

Yep, that's awesome. I think you did right with the foreground too. It shows up well enough without trying to compete for attention.

[SimpleFoto]

nice. Those must have been some quick clouds for a 25 second shutter speed. Great colors in them though.

i love this shot but can't get over the massive yacht it takes away so much from the picture

I think if you had moved your yacht before taking the shot it would have made for a less distracting foreground, perhaps just a darkened jetty in its place. Also consider a slight crop from the left & top? Impressive sky.
