Comment by Germaine:
Those are nice cloud reflections in the water. They would have made a good picture by themselves, but for purposes of this picture, I'd have cropped them out. IMNSHO, they don't add to the "garbage" theme. As for the bottom portion of the picture, it looks like a golf ball in a water hazard. Do you really consider that garbage?

Thanks for all the comments! I just wanted to take a picture of the sand and the water, not with the challenge in mind, and just thought I'd throw it out there to see what comments I would get. It's actually my first entry, and I would love some advice on how to do all the stuff people mentioned. I just cropped the photo and made it smaller to fit the max file size requirement. For future reference on photo size, how do I maximize the size? Also, how can I avoid looking too cropped when trying to eliminate distracting elements from the photo? Any insights would be helpful to this complete beginner. Thanks again!

A little larger, please! Beautiful scene, but it doesn't meet the challenge for me. Sorry!

Since the subject is shoes ( being something that we use to cover and protect our feet) I can't say this meets the challenge . It would be like doing a challenge on " clothes" and everyone entering nude photos. Other than that it a decent photograph, but a lttle too tightly cropped.

I like the picture, but I think it would have fit the challenge better if it were shoes instead of feet.
