The flow of the crest of the sand dunes works to lead the eyes of the viewer from edge to edge in the picture with the interplay of shadow and light helping to enhance the visual impact of the picture. I find that a grey background coloring serves the toning of your composition well.

A sea of gold... I like the dramatic play of the light and the rippled 'skin' of those dunes.
Also nice cropped a bit from the top, for a more abstract look.

Lovely details. paly of light and shades is also excellent.

Your dunes series is lovely.

Love dune shots. I'd like to see this cropped a small bit from the top, just below where the next dune top starts. My reaction is that this is a tad too dark.

Your best dune photo to date IMO. Very graceful. Maybe the big shadow area opened just enough to see some detail. Cropping from the top would wipe out most of a nice line.

Really lovely, John. I love the graphic nature of these. I do agree with Jeff, maybe open up the shadows a tad, but otherwise leave it alone.

Can't help but think of Frank Herbert. Very striking.

Thank you for commenting! I made my last trip to the dunes today, was very windy! I will post a few more if you are not getting tired of them!
