Very well framed, great composition, great contrast, really good PP, it still looks very natural, I like it this way.
I just have one suggestion for improvement: I notice that the photo lacks sharpness, did you try USM with a tiny radius? It is only slightly soft, and still looks great, but it could come from f/20, this causes "diffraction", after f/11 lens sharpness usually diminishes... Unsharp mask might help.

Great landscape Paul, you are in a beautiful part of the world. Love your sepia tone, it really adds significantly to the shot. Great pp too.

Great effect, Paul.
Looks good in sepia, but I do wonder what it looks like in the original version.
I'm amazed you took this in no less then 30 secs.
Congratulations.
Groet,
Joop.

Hi Paul,
Very nice picture. With the big exposure time you achieved a fantastic effect. The Sepia tones are great. Great work.

Be well,
António

Beautiful picture,Paul! Great composition and very good pp! The choice of the sepia was a very good idea,it gives to that photo a very special effect! Congrats! Michel

It's very impressive! The sepia help probably.. But it look surreal! Wave ahve a curious but very nice look... A contradiction came in my mind... A desertic sea :o) Great shot!

I think sepia really makes this image. It kind of looks like a dream scene, particularly with the fuzzyness. Balance and contrast look great.

This is great, moody photo, lovely effect of blurred water with this time of exposure. I read also your description of original photo - I agree about the excess of blue. I made a workshop adjusting colours balance because nevertheless sepia version is wonderful, coloured version adds a lot thanks to not so much saturated coloured areas in cold tones of green, blue and gray. Please check the WS - I wonder what's your opinion about it
