Mods, this is not a plank sticking out of the sand; this is what is left of a dead tree that was once alive there. I have other pictures of the same dunes that have live trees still in there to prove it. A plank is flat, this tree was rounded. In the description comments, it says even dead trees were allowed after the other member asked about tree roots.

I think you need to look at the HIGH RESOLUTION or maybe get your eyes checked! There is no nail in this tree, IT IS NOT A PLANK and if you look at the high resolution, you'll see it is not flat, it is rounded; what is left of the dead tree AND YOU'LL SEE OTHER dead trees in the background (or whats left of them at least) Mods will allow tree roots but not the actual tree trunk? I think the description needs to be a little more CLEAR THEN! How about it say, a tree that has branches and leaves on it? If the description isn't described well enough, then it should be left OPEN to the voters to decide whether it fits the so POORLY DESCRIBED THEME!

Above remarks is for an other photo.

What a beautiful shot! The deep colors and shadows!

Lovely photo... GL

Is there really such a thing as a 'good game of cricket'? Nice photo though.

I don't know much about the game, but any game that needs face protection, shouldn't have such a deceivingly sweet name. :o Lovely image!

The pink canvas really shows off the spring colors. The focus is crisp & clear. Well done!

Nice colors, but the image seems a little blurred.

might be my eyes, but is there more than 1 shell here?

thnx eco

Superb DOF, color & clarity!
