This has GOT to be one of the most AMAZING things I have ever seen!!! The attention to detail is simply outstanding! I'm in awe of how the crumbled sand on the top of the waves actually looks like foam whitecaps.

That sand is actually dried, while the rest is still wet, hence the color differences.
