An office chair, stuck firmly into the wet sand on Westboro Beach. This is the 2nd time I shot this chair, the first time was Easter Sunday, approximately 4 hrs before the actual OOTO challenge was announced! So a few days later I was in town, and returned to the locale. Thankfully the chair was still there.

From the (un-qualified member of the) critique club:
Now, I am not a stickler for rules (most of which don't belong in art, but i digress) but it might help to crop this image up using the rule of thirds. I certainly love the idea and like the detail that you've captured here (in the sand, water) but constructively speaking, the image could use a crop to help the viewer smoothly consider the content since its (seemingly) meant to be open; I like the zen-like simplicity you've presented here.
I also like the vastness that you've captured with the clouds and the visual detail of the landmasses on the far side of the water.
Nice office :D
I would suggest more contrast and darkness in the sky, ease off on sharpness, crop up half the sand on the bottom and half way across to the chair on the left.
