shooting directly at the sun in the a.m. is tough not much you can do post production but usually i like to see these shot in vertical format not horizontal especially when there is a lack of landscape to deal with, were you using a filter? and what lens were you shooting with? id probable use the 300mm to catch a little more of the bout detail
I was using a 105mm lens with only an nd 2 and polarised filter, and if you were to zoom in wouldnt you lose the necessary foreground? plus i doubt the boat could ever be perfectly detailed in front of the sun.
bu i definitely agree and see you point with the vertical shots.
If you shoot it horizontally, maybe have the boat on the left or right to fill the frame. A bird would help too, even a seagull. And finally, your horizon isn't straight. It's leaning to the left by about 0.8 degree. Always check your horizons. It takes a few seconds, and seasoned photographers (I'm not one) hate a crooked horizon and might give you an angry 1 star rating in a contest.
I agree with Nick B. And maybe the foreground is not that necessary in this frame...? Just the sun, the waves and the sky would create a nice abstract-like frame. I find the rocks distracting.

I think cropping it square enable you to make use of the rocks as part of the composition.
that definitely works well but i quite like the centred sun... idk why but it feels very fitting, so i think adding a bird or something to the left of the photo would be nice
