The amniotic fluid of the neonate has often been compared to seawater. In the Aquatic Ape Hypothesis, primary characteristics such as hairless or furless skin have been attributed to an evolution of a swimming ape into a primarily land bound creature. (See Wikipedia for more information) Although embraced by such notable naturalists as David Attenborough, the theory is largely disregarded in academic circles. There can be no denying the potency and fascination of the ocean and waters in general to the species.
I don't know enough about evolution to judge whether or not you're right. That isn't the point, because Caedes isn't a site to assess the correctness of scientific insights, but is a site where one can evaluate the submitted contributions and determine whether one can enjoy them.
In that last respect, I can tell you that you have succeeded very well. For me it is a very moody photograph, which can tell much better than any narrative also what atmosphere it evokes.
PS: would be a perfect entry for the current contest topic 'Water'!
