Didn't see your shot before your cleanup, but it looks great now. You're right - makes you think. Thing that jumps out to me and makes me wonder is why the subject's back is turned to the sea and sun. Nice shot.
Thank you for the comments and suggestions. I cleaned up the distractions and darkened it some more. It doesn't hold up very well to increasing the contrast. Some of the softness comes from noise reduction. The picture raises a lot of questions- I am not sure what to think about or what it is about. It leaves you wondering. Wanting to know more. That makes you look at more for clues as to what is going on.
I like this shot, but I think it would be better if you cloned out the tiny ships at the horizon and the small people at the left of the photo. Like the way the sky matches the color of the blanket the woman/man covers her-/himself with.
