Although I live 20 miles from the ocean, I didn't have it in me to drive that far for a shot. Especially when I expect there will be some massive dunes and impressive beach submissions in this challenge.
Thought I'd give the interpretation a twist and used sugar instead.
Cropped, levels, contrast, and sharpening.

Nice take on the challenge. I like the lighting as it reflects off the nails,less so on the tops of the fingers. The backdrop blue/green corner seems out of place. Crop seems tight to the top.
