Default Beach rubbish or reserve?

Photographers Comments
Took this a while ago, but it was a very dull day. Have used PS to practice with settings to try and improve the image (with a little help from a friend on techniques). Found it an interesting subject as the tyres have developed their own ecosystem rockpool, including shrimps, crabs and sea slugs.

that's what I've been doing this afternoon...learning lots in the editing section. I think you have done a great job and this is almost something that I could stumble across in my neck of the woods. I would still crop more off the top; being that there is so much light/white at the top, it tugs my eye too fast towards the top of the image. I would crop, right to the bottom of that biggish brown rock.

Wow, thank you everyone for viewing and the comments, glad you like it Must say a special thanks to Alan (PixL8) as he has been helping me with PS training - big hugs hun. This is one of my favourite places to go as there is so much variety along the beach, subject to the tide and how wet you feel like getting lol Plan to work out tide times and get some shots of the rusted wrecks which are resting by the cliffs
