I think the black and white adds to this picture

As someone that has never been able to visit these dunes I think I would have preferred the color shot.

Wow! Very mysterious, the shapes, the shadows, quite erie! Looks like death resides there. Like everything collapsed…So desolate, however it would make for a good story. Thanks for your keen eye on shapes and tone Cory.

There’s something beautiful about simplicity. Shadows dipping into sand-crevices and soft billows of light. Wow. This is a moody, stare-at-me sort of picture. I like it a lot.

Death Valley is unforgettable! The b/w gives this shot an Ansel Adams feel, and allows the viewer to see every fold and curve of the dunes. Those of you have never been there need to start planning a trip now. You’ll never regret it.
Thanks, Corey for a potd with special meaning to me!
