You be the judge! Torrey Pines and Pacific Beach are roughly a mile apart. How much did the sand change in that distance and why? The two samples were photographed under exactly the same conditions (natural light). The magnified images were edited to exactly the same extent, so any variation is a product of the sand, not the editing.
