Author's Note:

There was an obvious temptation to use 3 animals under a beach umbrella on a deserted island, facing a turquoise sea. I decided to only partly embrace that theme, because I assume EVERY contestant will see and portray that obvious connection between the 5 words.

Instead, this entry shows the deserted island beach, turquoise ocean, and umbrella... but only as part of a larger theme.
The larger theme is "when the going gets wrong, the righteous get out." I decided to show the 4 "horsemen" of the Apocalypse (chess knights), 3 of them in cerebral, unnatural, paranoid machinations, lined up in a pattern that blots out a naturalistic, happy setting (a deserted beach and turquoise ocean). The 4th "horseman", though, has deserted. He's a conscientious objector, and thus abandoned the activity in favor of embracing the happy, natural setting. He has abandoned the other 3, and surrounded himself with beach and a beach umbrella.

1. turquoise (ocean)
2. deserted (island, and the 4th horseman has "desert...
3. three (remaining horsemen)
4. umbrella (beach umbrella)
5. An animal: the horse(s) from a chess set. Also, Google image search for "chess horse"
