Green Ghost.

This is a puzzling sunrise image, taken of the coastline on one of my visits to Port Macquarie.
During resizing this image for BP in photoshop, I found what appeared to be a woman in a green dress standing among the rocks.
I had to enlarge the image 600% to see it is just seaweed and kelp that had been washed ashore at high tide, and had formed the illusion of a human.
