This work by Martina Lopez demonstrates a woman standing on what looks to be a beach with several other people in the background and birds flying through the air. The whole image has an antique black and white finish, making the image seem very old.
This image tells me that the artist enjoys the simple things in life, and does not overly rely on technology like many of us do today. The figures in the background  make the main figure seem isolated, alone. Perhaps this is how the artist sometimes feels. 
I like this work because of her use of color effects to make the image appear old, vintage. Based on my interpretation about the artist, it would be ironic for her to use a computer and digital imaging to create this image instead of more traditional means. I think this is interesting however, as it leaves no true answer, only to be left open to interpretation.
