Pile of rocks I found on the beach

I found this pile of rocks on the beach. Naturally I ran right over to them to snap the shot. The background is grainy because of my resizing. I goofed. But I learned something, too. What I should have done is adjust my f-stop smaller and have my little son stand just in the background, making the rocks apprear to be gigantic. Instead I went for the glorious bokeh! :)

I thought the background being grainy was caused by the sand found there. Sand always seems grainy to me...

:judge: :judge: :thumbsup: :woohoo: Nice shot.

You found them piled already or you piled them up yourself?

chasrich, you got me on that one. Nice one! :lol:

Joie, I found them that way already.

Sleeper, the height of the stack was about 20". The largest rock on the bottom was about 12".

Thanks for the replies
