Ocean, Beach and Fence C&C appreicated

[flashback]

Kodiak, thanks! I like your conversion in that there is more detail in the sea, so I'll have to go back and see if I can replicate it.
Binnur, thank you again for your comments and suggestions.
Greg, thanks.
Dan, thank you.
Mike, I'll keep working on that sky.
Izzie, thanks.

Regarding the 'tree'. The reason I cloned it out is because it was something apparently that had washed up on the beach, or someone recovered from elsewhere, but in any case, it was a dead branch stuck in the sand. So it isn't a living (or now dead) tree on the beach but rather an artifact placed there by a 'beach artiste' (note-that branch is now covered with things brought, offered up by the sea and/or found by beachcombers, kind of like a little, sad christmas tree.) So in my mind it was little different than if it had been a beach chair or an old ice chest left or washed ashore; I found it a distraction.

I appreciate all the input, suggestions and Kodiak for your edit. I will have another go at it to get more detail out of the sea and the sand in the FG and maybe...maybe I'll try it with the 'tree'.

Ahhhhhh. The tree isn't a tree; it's a work of art!
