If you study the pics, the "damned effect" is by far the superior shot. Your original has the sun six times its actual size in the sky, the "damned effect" has the sun much closer to actual size. If the people remained the same size but the submarine was rendered at six times actual size you would certainly get my point.
The "damned effect" shot has transparent water and the original shot has water made of dirty motor oil or something that is not transparent. The "damned effect" shot recognizes the inverse square effect of light propogation and the original thinks that the sun distributes light uniformly across the frame.
Finally, if you look at the reflection of the sun on the water in the original shot, you can see a dull, lifeless wash lacking color or dimension. A light bulb would produce a better reflection. Maybe the water is dusty and doesn't reflect very well. In the "damned effect" shot the colors are appropriate for the time of day and the reflection has a brightness that would come from a reflection off water, one of the most reflective surfaces there is.
In every respect, the "damned effect" is far superior to what you had before. Perhaps you see something that I had not noticed?
