There's something really quite odd about the tonality - is this filtered in any way? There don't seem to be any highlights in the upper part of the picture, and there seems to be colour banding in the sky, which might suggest a lot of compression....
If this is processed a good deal, could we have the unprocessed original as well, please?

Its certainly level now.
Its been processed a lot; like dudler, I can see jpeg artefacts and banding, all down to processing, than saving multiple times whicg cause to image to be compressed over and over.
But the scene can work, - less colour makes the banding, etc less noticeable, and a mono can also work. Both have been loaded as mods.

I have uploaded the original shot as requested. I'm not sure what you are getting at regarding"compression". It's a jpeg as are all of my images and therefore has been subject to compression in the camera. If there has been further compression then I am not aware of it and it is unintentional. Perhaps you could explain this form me so that I can be aware of it in the future.
Many thanks for your comments so far.
Thank you for the mods. I tried a B&W version but I felt that the loss of the colour banding detracted from the image.

Every time you save a JPG afresh, there's more compression, especially if you save at less than maximum quality. If you open and save a few time, it shows. Similarly, if you save at less than maximum quality, it will tell - especially now you can upload files at full size and maximum quality (as I regularly do with 42mp Sony files).
Thank you for the original. I cropped top rather than bottom for my mod, as I reckon the surf is lovely... I adjusted Levels to increase contrast - no spectacular colours, but I rather like the result.
A thought on colour - you selected Landscape mode (which will mess with the colours a bit, though possibly in a way that will tend to look good for scenes like this) and yet used Auto white balance. Why not take control and choose how warm or cold the scene is, to suit the mood that inspired you to take the picture?

Think of it like making a photocopy of an original document. A high quality copy. The you copy that freash copy; then you take that new cop[y, and copy it. The more generations of copying you have, the more the original has deteriorated. The way JPEG works is that its supposed to compress, i.e make the file smaller, every time you open if, make a change and then save it again. If you open it, look at it and close it, it wont compress it, - its when saving. This is why many shooters work on RAW files, TIFF etc because when you make changes and save the file, there no compression going on, - the size of the file remains the same. When the changes are finished, then produce one jpeg which will look great

Hi, I have arrived late, nothing more to suggest but to think of a black and white version of it.

RAW seems intimidating at first - but try it, play with it, and then enjoy the extra control that it gives when you need it (I work wiht the JPGs my camera gives when I can, and use the RAW versions when I need to tweak a little bit more than they allow. Occasionally, shooting in RAW first off is simply the only way to get there: the rest of the time - unless you are a perfectionist - it can be a safety net.
I did a modification yesterday, Jeff, but didn't get around to uploading it, so here it is.
I used your original, cropped and adjusted, removed lots of dust bunnies and softened the sky.
Pamela.
