Hello! I finally had time to write an answer.
Thank you for such a detailed review of my photo and tips on how to improve it.
I agree with all suggestions.
I also tried to focus on the orange trees on the other side using a radial gradient.
Unfortunately, I could not make an excerpt even more. I think that this required two filters ND1000. And I used three filters ND2, ND4, ND8.
You blurred the photo a bit by eliminating the noise. And I used the increase in sharpness. For some reason I like sharp pictures.
I think that you are doing very useful reviews. I hope that curators will pay attention to your posts.
