February 25th, 2009 at 4:16 amVery impressive–like a Georgia O’Keefe painting!
Stark, sensual, beautiful and moving… I especially like that the only real movement is the tiny wisp of sand blowing from the top-most dune, yet the colors and shadows give the impression that the dunes are alive and undulating. One of my favorites! -

February 25th, 2009 at 6:22 amThis is mesmerizing. I like the tiny wisp of sand movement on the tip of the dune, and in contrast to the silky smooth lines of the sand in the foreground…. amazing!

February 25th, 2009 at 6:32 amRain clouds in the dessert!! Wow, a rare occurrence. The folds and creases in the sand make it look like a drape of canavas rather than the sand.
Congratulations! -

February 25th, 2009 at 7:15 amFor a moment it looked like crumpled brown butcher paper. At first I thought it needed a focal point, then I saw the wisp of movement. That is all it needed to shout.

February 25th, 2009 at 8:45 amQuite a minimalistic shot. Very nicely placed in the middle however the background, the clouds or what ever it is seems a little out of place cause the sand is too well lit.
