I was immediately attracted to the patterns in the beach caused by the outgoing tide. The circular pattern in the sand at the rock tip was positioned at bottom left to create a lead into the sand patterns. It might have been an idea to exlude the black kelp fronds, but removing it would have been a problem with footprints for other images and drag marks from trying to get it out of frame.

Really cool patterns! I agree that the kelp doesn't really help but yeah the footprints would've destroyed it completey.

An interesting shot Marshall. I agree that the kelp breaks the overall pattern. I think I would have opted to move it and clone any footprints out. A really nice effect anyway.

Yes, the kelp is a bit disturbing..
