Nice composition, but a difficult exposure. First, I would suggest straightening the image, it rather appears that the barge is going uphill. I would try and drop the bright background about 1/2 stop and lighten the dark RH edge 1 stop or so. The over pipe is unfortunate, but removing it might be more effort than it's worth.

Awww. They're on the kind of holiday I would so want to go on myself one day.

Yes. Exposure looks like it was not easy.
As to the pipe ... a bit of cropping in from above and the right might solve this little "problem" (if it is one?).

Thanks for the feedback. Exposure was indeed tricky, with such a huge dynamic range.

I too noiticed the RH side needed lightening, but I have only basic Photoshop knowledge and don't know how to do such things.
