A special frame

An experiment. Took this picture in Napier, a town in New Zealand at the Hawkes Bay. Looking through an opening in the arcade at the waterfront. The stong shadows and the emerald sea created an attractive view which I tried to capture.

I took several shots., but an apperture of f/13.0 and a shutter speed of 1/250 this one appeare the best for me. Took this shot in the afternoon (approximately 3 o'clock) with the sun still high at the sky.

Give me your contention, what to do to improve this picture? Your opinion is valuable for me.

Clone and paste
Edited by:mortcdz Gold Star Critiquer/Gold Workshop Editor/Silver Note Writer [C: 1265 W: 197 N: 17] (53)
First off cloned out the man from the left and the couple from the main "frame".
Next pasted in a boat from another shot - resized to fit the frame
Used the eraser tool, set to 50% opactity, to merge the boat in the with the water and retain some its shadow (handy tip I picked up from here on TL)
Quick and dirty.
