love that effect. if you make the building much sharper with non blurry outline the focus will go there, and it much better, imo. or is it on purpose to focus on the background?

My eye already goes to the building due to it being the point of highest contrast and the intersectin of the verticle and horizontal at that point. However, the higher saturation of the background does make it compete a bit.

@Acchan @tall73 first of all thanks a lot for your comments, I always appeciate comments and suggestions from such artists. Try to save this painting and take a look at details. My idea was to attract attention in the gallery through the strong colors of the sky and the reflections on the sea. The castle had to remain dark for the contrast.
