I think this is best as an interpretation of colors and textures and unidentified objects in the FG detract, at least for me.

Thanks for the insight! I only exposed for 10 seconds, as my longer exposures just came out way too soft. I liked the subtle details I could still see with the 10 sec exposure especially the textures in the water closer to the horizon.

LOL on the shark turds. I was thinking I should paint those out, but I do like the lone rock. I have some shots with the rock much much closer, but even for 5-6 sec exposures, my tripod would sink into the sand as the water washed past and I couldn't get a sharp photo.

You are right though, the only reason I uploaded this photo is because I liked the color representation and mood. There is not much else to look at otherwise.
