Man this is driving me nuts, I need some perspective! At first I thought it was a shot from a helicopter or something, but I'm now thinking it's a close up. I think this questioning is why I've added it to my fav's. Amazing.
This is a gorgeous image. I just love the abstract feel and the way I could see it as showing several radically different scales: a high-altitude shot of a shoreline, a small detail of a wave on a beach, and even the edge of a nebula in deep space.
The little white specks on the beach (see comments by drgsoell and Natator) are reflections of light from the white of sea shells.
While I could have easily removed them via adjustments to brightness and contrast, their inclusion here was critical to me, because it added a subtle but distinct metaphorical quality (the suggestion of stars on a dark plane) to the photo, which made for poetry to my senses.
I did not mean to say the specks were bad. I actually likes their inclusion. They helped make the sand look like the night sky. Congrats on your high finish.

Wonderfull image full of shapes, texture and edges/borders. The oriantation you choose make it very special: needs some time to realize what it is.
I especially like the lower right part, where the water is very shallow and the next wave is comming.
Quite stunning. Looks like a sheet of metal or something ornamental, take out the beach and you'd never get it! Spots on the beach would be good gone, but not within the challenge obviously. Great shot.
