I tried adjusting it but still couldn't get the it to look right. It was morning and the sun was shining, there was haze on the beachside and I was on the mainland shooting across the water.
You have got dirt on the sensor (two spots that I can see) and there is banding visible in the sky. This is probably the result of working the image when it was opened up as a pre-view and then saving it after you completed your corrections. (If indeed you have done any)
When opening an image in a viewer all you display is a highly compressed JPG that is imbedded in the image file. So next time do all your correction work by opening the image file proper in a dedicated manipulation program such as Photoshop or similar. This will open up the file itself rather than the pre-view of it.
