When we lived in Florida, we used to go down to the beach all the time, I never was able to find out what these were but they reminded me of rusty nails sticking up out of the Sand.....

Wow...interesting shot...however...after your description, I need to make the comment that the foreground does not remind me of Florida sands. It looks more like a snowcovered field rather than a beach. As I am still new to fixing things, I really can't offer any suggestions on how to fix this...other than that...I like the contrast between the white sands and very colorful foliage in the background...an interesting picture...

That is actually what color it was there. We stopped on the side of a road by this very small beach and the sand was actually that white.

I like this a lot. The the color, comp and light are all very good.It looks like a painting, and that a good thing.

I am from Florida, born and raised. Those are mangrove roots.

I like this shot, but it's a tad blurry. I would try and use the sharpen mask. Otherwise, it's pretty cool.

Okay, I will try that, Thanks. I miss it down in Florida. I am glad to finally know what the "nails" are! lol
