improve the view

I couldn't figure this photo out. it has some nice elements, a clear foreground, and a scenic view out over the harbor and town beyond. but it doesn't work for me. I look at it and there's no actual subject, nothing to lead or anchor the eye. too busy. help! uncensored, what would you have done differently? put the edge of the ledge higher in the frame, possibly losing some of the elements that way, but gaining visual appeal? another lens perhaps? very curious to hear people's constructive/instructive thoughts.

 

there's a sort of funny story behind the title that'll have to wait for another day :o)
