Great job! An interesting and different subject matter. Although this handrail could be anywhere, I see no signs of a beach. However, a water shot, or even a shoreline shot, or anything that might come from a beach, does not always mean 'beach' in my opinion. And meeting the challenge, to me, is the first and most important thing, if that isn't done, then anything else is unimportant. Doesn't mean it's not a beautiful and creative shot, because in this case, it absolutely is! I do love it! I went back and forth on how to score your pic, but I do vote low for those that I don't think meet the challenge, so to be consistant, I am voting this lower than I want for the reasons stated above.

Good DoF but the perspective doesn't work (too central). May have worked if the left side of the rail was just off centre left, which would give a view down the walkway. Good eye for detail.

0-2 meets challenge = 1
0-3 technical merit = 2
0-3 creativity = 1
0-2 biased wow factor = 0
Total = 4
One cannot tell if this has anything to do with a water's edge.

Where's the beach?! The composition is ok and I'm the sure the beach is somewhere in the distance thus loosely meeting the challenge but it isn't clear.

I guess we have to assume the handrail is on a bridge going over water?
