Beautiful abstract composition, so painterly.
Just left of center near the top there's a spot where the wave meets the shore that is a natural occurrence but looks like a smudged fingerprint. It's odd how it keeps catching my eye! Anyhow, I really like this photo.

The perpendicular intersection between natural forces bent on conquering each other.

There is something about a wave going out and the sand, smooth yet textured, that delights the eye. The smell of the sea and the sand between the toes, this draws me right in.

Paul said it well...boredom does not equate with this image.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: A simple shot, well made - an exercise in demonstrating that less can be more. The contrast between the graining sand and the smooth water layer on the saturated sand is lovely. I also like how the stick penetrates the sand, like a boat passing through a wave - how fitting given where its vector leads us.

Critical stuff: Nothing really.

Overall: A satisfying image that is just right in a number of ways.

Well, I know it's you Z, because I saw and admired it elsewhere. But I'd almost certainly have known anyway; it would have been a choice of just two people. It's my clear top pick in the challenge because it's beautiful, deceptively simple, and I looked at it for longest and never got bored. Thank you.
