Very cool! This truly looks like a foam person crawling up out of the ocean and onto the beach.

Childhood joy....this is great. I think a little less shutter would have worked well here.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Technicals/Setup:
Good light and color. What you kept in focus looks sharp so good job there.

Subject/Composition:
The subject is an interesting one for the challenge. I think it fits well with the song even with the trespassing sign there. In fact I think it helps not hurts the image. Besides, the spot you are standing could be your place not the actual private land.

The composition is good. I like the main tree were it is positioned and the other group of trees to the right. The two help frame the path you are headed. The skinny branch/tree is really the only thing I don't like. It divides the image so I'd think about cloning that out.

Post Processing:
I like the saturation treatment. Also, the blur gives it a nice dreamy look but for me I rather you left it out.

Suggestions for Improvement:
I think you pretty much know what needs to be improved. You mentioned removing some of the clutter and that's really the only thing I see that would benefit this image.
