hope this fits the challenge. I went into this secluded, "off limits" part of the beach at sundown. Found bits of garbage, slipper sole, plastics, etc. entangled on the branches of the trees just after a big typhoon. Taken a day after a strong earthquake has hit Taiwan, there were rumors of a possible tsunami on the east coast of the Philippines.

Sorry, I definately know and respect the ruleset in this challenge but to me that still means to create something aesthetically pleasing and this image just isn´t cutting it aesthetically for me, I just don´t find the effect you put on this image to be doing anything positive for it and frankly I voted a 3 on it.
