25 - Sand Dunes on the Beach

[Rkymtnmary]

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.
