This is great Stuart. The foreground textures are superb. The foreground is strong enough that I'd play with a square crop that removed all of the sea and beyond, kicking up the contrast to emphasize it even more.

This looks fantastic Stuart. The shapes and texture in the foreground sand are awesome. I also like your comp very much. This looks like it would make a beautiful large print to me.

I like the textures and shapes. When I scroll-crop off the land at the top it seems to make the outflow lead to infinity.

Is that what they mean by "limited evidence of hand-of-man."

This is super superb, Stuart. The water leads the eye so well, seemingly into infinity in the water, but the patterns and textures in the sand are what I think are really stunning. Love everything about this.

I was merely there, a small, puny, awestruck man,
praising Almighty God, with camera in hand.
Make a few images, well.

I like the mystery of the background and the foreground is very cool. Maybe just a touch more contrast.
