Nolan - you can't believe the biggest laugh I had just now...I just don't know how I missed those footsteps like that - well, I already got them off (the ones up against the shoreline) and while I was at it, I made the others smaller, more windblown and lightened them up. I also lightened up that whatever that little darker triangular thing was where the guy jumped off the cliff into the water
as well. That ALONE has made it 100 x better. I'll add the individual blades of grass once dry with the rigor brush and mix up more shadow color to address the shoreline when I do that. I'll add the seagulls as well but I was thinking after looking at those footsteps like that at the waterline, I should have put a shark's fin in! Thank you SO much. I didn't think I could even go back to it and now it's redeemed! Will post a new pic once the rest is taken care of!

Nolan -
Here's the pic and hopefully I captured your recommendations...I know the horizon looks askew but that is only about the photographer...lol...it's really level in real life. Not sure if there's anything else I can do at this point...it's now dry.
