Very nice work indeed.
I wouldn't be me if I did not have a couple of comments:
I feel the sand to be a bit too 'concrete-like' ;-) You can without
problems drastically increase the normal (granite?) on that, to have
better defined sand grains.
The beach itself would be improved with sharp edges due to wind
rippling, dune forming.
The pebbles are superfluous imo and look somewhat 'uncomfortable' on
this surface. A proper sand beach will not really show pebbles; a pebble
beach however, could show sand ripples across it.
I like your peeling paint. Well done.
that dark spot Bill mentioned: a plane? an ufo? ;-)
