Sand dune along the San Mateo Coast of California. Its definitely hard around these parts to find not only a photogenic sand dune, but an undisturbed one at that.
I waited until after sunset to compose this shot, hoping the dusk light would bring out some nice and different shadows and tones.
Thanks in advance for your comments and critiques.
Canon 40D, 10-22mm, f14, 5", iso100. Processing this photo was a pain in the you know what...web is killing some of the contrast and colors, and if you are viewing this in a non-color managed browser some of the vibrance may be lost.

Greg,

I like the idea you have here. I like the tones present in the sand, good call on waiting until after sunset. I agree, the dunes along the San Mateo coast are difficult to work with.

Simple and well done graphic image. Love the granular texture and color of this. The green shoot ads interest.

The subtle diagonal lines and the simplicity of your composition really work well Greg. Nicely seen and well done.
