It's a Christmas Tree! I didn't expect that out there when I got there.

That would be my outtake. :) My originals started with more pier but I liked the wave action on this one best. I totally missed the clump on the left though. The beach was very busy so it was hard to shoot without people.

It's an ultra wide angle lens so it has a bit of bend. I did use line straightening on it to try and ensure the most level horizon.
