Photographed around the Cresent Harbor area around Cresent City, California. I liked the s curve and how there where two difference patterns in the sand.
All comments and suggestions are welcome. This is my first submission

Debbie: Welcome to NPN in general and to the Weekly Challenge specifically. This is an exceptionally good first post. The S curve through the frame is wonderfully balanced by the patterns in the FG sand. Very nicely composed and presented. >=))>
Debbie, Welcome to NPN and the Weekly Challenge. I agree that you’ve got an excellent photo here, with the swirls in the sand changing to rocks in the mid-ground. The “chattery” water makes a fine counter point to the shore features. As a very minor nit, there are two small somewhat greenish vertical lines near the lower right corner that may be out of focus grass tops. Those can be easily cloned out.
Hi Debbie,
First off welcome to NPN! I am enjoying the S curve in the frame as well as the patterns in the sand. While I like this as is I think this would make a wonderful B&W as well. I hope you do not mind, but here is a rework with what I was thinking. I also cropped a little from the right and added a little canvas to the left to move the point of the curve away from the edge a little more. Just my opinion of course. Great first post.
Hi Ed,
Thank you for the welcome. I’m flattered you liked my photo enough to spend your time on it. I like the photo in B&W and the revised crop
Hi Bill,
Thank you for the welcome and your kind comment
Hi Mark,
Thank you for the welcome and your Eagle eyes.
I hadn’t noticed the out of focus grass.
I was going to use the remove tool and ended up decided to change the crop
Here is my revision (If I upload it correctly 
)
Debbie, when you upload a revised version, it’s most informative to the rest of the members if you note a repost in the title and add the revised version to your original post. To do that, click on the pencil button at the bottom of your original post and upload the revised version. Then go to the title and click on the pencil button beside the title. That lets you revise the title, where you can say something like added version or repost, etc. It also lets the viewers jump quickly back and forth between the versions, making the changes easier to see. The revised version looks better, as I was also slightly distracted by the texture change in the water, upper right corner. In this version the reduced amount of changed texture reduces its visual impact.
