the crease in the sand bottom left hand corner seems distracting to me, nice image and observational shot

I actually like that its there. Its the only thing that makes me aware that the beach is right there. For me I feel like it helps my eye go from the beach out into the middle of the water. I really like the mist feel you put on these shots.

Shipman, that was my intention when I chose not to edit it out, though I can see how others may feel different about it. Thanks for the comments!

Did you take the stick out of the original picture ? Or am I going crazy ?

No, I'm no PS user. Can't make things disappear Just used another shot I had taken without the stick. Which one do you prefer?

You know when I saw the one with the stick , I didn't mind the stick . But after seeing this version I like it much better . Just seems cleaner, less distracted .

Very nice capture , good job .
