I came upon this scene in a place where you might almost expect to see a body floating by. I was shocked for a moment before I realized it wasn't real. I hope you find it as disturbing as I did.

"...face down like Elvis" ......remarkable picture. Fine detail appears perfect, the tiny (implant) dots where the hair had been is startling. Tonality & contrast is super. Composition is great - fairly tight, but enough space and environment for recognition of this Planet of the Apes found beach dream.......
I'm not nuts about the square aspect ratio for this work, but it's a catching and unique subject. Excellent job with retaining detail in the ground texture.
Wow, very interesting find. Don't see that everyday. Very nice tonal range as well as a very nice range of textures. I like the composition, as this is very well balanced. Compelling shot!
