 When my husband took me for a late afternoon drive we stopped at one of our local beaches where there is a boardwalk around the headlands. I took my camera to the beginning of the walk and looked over the railings on the boardwalk and could not believe what I saw.

All this rocks protruding out of the sand on the waters edge at low tide, forming a leading rock line into the ocean. It really just looks like a 'Skeleton Rock Formation' or ones backbone, hence the title.

I set my tripod up and took the same shot over and over again, with just the waves changing with each capture. This was my favorite, and feel it suits this challenge well.
I hope you like it..... Enjoy

Shez, it is nice to see you in the challenges again. I think you got a very undeserving score. I am noticing several that I really liked alot with surprising scores. I'm sorry! I think it is very nice.

It looks like the remains of a prehistoric creature as it tried to crawl from the sea. Very cool shot, Shez!

very nice formation, but the rocks blend too much with the water... they need to stand out more
