 Spots on the Sand

Taken from a height 6mtrs, the sand was smooth and these are sand crab holes, the spots are the sand removed from the hole during low tide.

When I was growing up and visited the beaches in Queensland I love the tiny sand crabs as the scattered all over the beach, leaving behind the tiny sand balls, which look like spots, which you have captured here.....
I love the softness and the textures in this one.
I think it deserve a better finigh IMO

Interesting find, but I don't like the frame, IMO it doesn't help the image.

I really really like this one! I like the texture, and I like the composition. It's very simple, but clean and very cool lookikng. I think I might like it even a tiny bit more without the white thing on the top one, but everything else is so appealing to me it only detracts a little! Great job! 9

the drop-shadow frame elevates this from odd photo to abstract canvas.

Very striking photo. I like the footprints, even though they might be thought undesirable.

This is neat in an abstract way. The footprints add authenticity to the photo. Not sure what the "spots" are, but it's fun to try and figure out. :D I've seen this drop-shadow framing in a couple of challenges now. It's unusual enough that you're going to start giving yourself away, that is, if I'm correct in assuming it's the same person doing it. :P Good luck in the challenge.

What a cool shot of spots here, as it is so graphic, and love the border.
