Questions to guide your feedback
I’ve chosen to make a new “reading” of the photo previously published; it’s not a re-post, but a new interpretation. I think both are valid.
I rotated it to vertical, eliminated a shell and applied a light crop. I haven’t touched anything else.

Love this! Sand images from the tides receeding always f acinate me. Excellent comp to showcase the pebble, and the title is perfect.
Really great eye to have seen this and a wonderful capture.
João, this version emphasizes the “reaching and embracing” better than the horizontal view. Removing that very white stone helps a lot with that sense. I really like the subtle colors and the grain in the sand.
This is a great shot João! My initial thought was of underwater plant life in the deep oceans. I guess I watched Little Mermaid with my kids too many times. I love the many ways water etches the sand. Good eye to see this one.
