I organized this image around three layers. The foreground layer is a mass of dark grass that anchors the scene. The footprints around that grass echo footprints that extend into the other two layers as well. The subject layer is the middle ground. A woman incongruously carries what appears to be a violin case with her as she leaves the beach. Her trail of footprints leads back to a hiker carrying a staff. Another trail of footprints extends to a ridge of grass extending into the background, leading to two more people in the distant background. A large slope of green grass flows down from the upper right hand corner, rhythmically repeating the foreground layer. The entire image hangs together, linked by clumps of grass, and the movements of people on the dunes.
