Once again, the colours are deeper in the actual painting, but this is the reworked version, which, I believe, to be a great improvement on the first version. But, of course, that is my opinion
I have deepened the shadows enormously, which exaggerates the light coming from the right-hand side. The effect, I feel, is much more dramatic.
In the water, I have introduced more of the orange brick colour to look like reflections. Also I have added some current swirls and some flecks of white to look like movement in the sea.
The red posts and flag have been refreshed with Cadmium Red. I think they come forward now, which is good, and take the eye towards the mill
More seagulls add some life, plus too some distant rooks over the tall trees. The birds are spooked by that bad weather coming in from the background!
I keep looking from the screen to the painting. The colours are richer in the painting, of that there is no doubt, but little more that I can do about it
Time soon to move back to Istanbul, and work on that small painting of the Blue Mosque which will be fun to do, I think
Your sky looks much more dramatic in this one too.

The sky looks dramatic and the shadowy effect works well.
