All comments and remarks are most welcome! Thank you.

Shot from the beach near Scheveningen (the Hague)in the Netherlands. This is the free anchor place where oil tankers can stay. The waterstreams in contrast with the sand created this dramatic effect as if there is oil on the beach. this luckily was not the case. It was shot with tripod.

Camera: Sony A580
Focal Length: 50mm
Shutter Speed: 15 s
Aperture: f/8
ISO/Film: 100

I have to say this one does not work for me. It is too dark and difficult to know what I am looking at and it suffers from a lack of contrast. Sorry but keep trying - I would like to see more from the Netherlands!

Ester,

I like the composition here and the dark subject matter. I actually might be inclined to clone out the ships and possibly crop down from the top a little to present this as an abstract. I love the mood of it.
