First: the image is wonderful, really wonderful. But I wonder a bit about the
seaweed. The scene must be at a beach. Is there seaweed so close to the beach?
My last visits to a beach is years ago and there is not much seaweed between the
mainland and the islands at East Frisia, where my sister lives. From experiences
long ago I ever had the impression that seaweed grows only in deeper areas
covered by water independend of the tides. But I may be wrong with that. My next
experience with beaches will be during my holydays this summer, but after the
contest, at a place called Mevagissey. I propose that you take a look at an
other very beautiful beach scene published within the irtc June 2005 titled
"wreck" by an author you should know.

Best regards,
Michael
