It is all a matter of perspective. The "vertical" snag was actually horizontal, a fallen tree that got hung up on another tree while still quite a distance from the ground.
SOOC using the rich B&W setting.

People in Maine probably call this a beach. I would call it more of a shoreline. When I think of a beach, I think of the beaches we have along the Texas shore - with sand that is so fine that when it's dry, it flows in and out of your sandals like a warm footbath. I think of wide-open stretches of sand where you can drive your car up and down the beach for miles upon miles, in a slow-motion promenade that serves as a sort of mating dance for scantily clad young humans.
A single rock the size of these on our beach would draw a crowd as if it were a beached whale, with onlookers gawking and taking selfies with it - wondering where it came from, and some probably wondering if we should push it back out to sea..
But that's just my perspective, which is of course colored by my own experiences and preferences. Which doesn't mean I don't love the rocky shoreline of Maine - I do. There is great mystery and romance in the way the waves crash against the dark rocks and wash back out to sea..
Highway 87 approaches another steep grade as it descends from the Mazatzal Mountains of central Arizona.
The idea here is perspective. I have used Roy's extended right
hand as an anchor point for the stretching of everything else.
As the perspective effect was brought in, step by step, there
appeared a triangular, black zone at top and bottom, extending
toward the right. The legs and feet of the woman on the right
were in that black zone. i filled it in by cloning, and added the
brown basked to cover her feet; since I didn't want to try and
draw the in.
Some things are painted in. The camoflage wall to the right of the
woman was painted in. This areas was accidentally added to the
image as a tall black area, when the baskets were added. Left it
in because it enabled me to crop it with Roy closer to center. It
was easier to paint it than to take it out.
