Im wondering why you went +1 Ev on that shot. How come?

I really like the composition, but you've got a lot of barrel distortion showing up in the curved horizon line. I have the same problem at full wide angle and found I can correct most of it with Filter>Distort>Pinch. I usually do a leveling crop first so that the horizon is at least equal on both sides. Then increase canvas size 200% on all sides. Use the Pinch function at about 10-15% (it'll vary from shot to shot), then re-crop to square the image. You'll lose some of the edges, but it'll look much more realistic. I can't help you with the blown-out highlights though. Still, a very interesting picture.

munky99999 , it says +1 Ev because this is a merged image.

I used bracketing at one full stop, on a tripod, to get this shot. I then merged the three images as best as I could to maximize the dynamic range of the scene. Thus, the foreground is very detailed. The sun pretty detailed compared to the individual two shots that were at normal and +1 exposures.

ryzst , I didn't need to re-crop the image, but I did pinch it a few times:
