The original shows me what's wrong, with it and the edit. It's too messy - the boat stands out in colour, but the lines of the masts and the ropes all mix up with the lines of the building behind it. Composition-wise the photo could be improved as well. The boat is placed dead center, which removes any dynamics and tension. Your processed version definitely is an improvement over the original, but doesn't fix everything.
