Yes sir! That's what I was expecting from you
Just fantastic imagery, congrats.

Excellent, Morris . Don't normally comment here but this one is pretty abstract-ish so could not resist. Love the leading lines and the excellent patterns in the frame.

This is really interesting. Well seen and executed.

very good morris. touch oversharpened for this presentation but everything singing here.

One of your best, Morris! A masterful composition with pleasing light and color.
The almost sensuous curves of the sand drifts complement the stone striations perfectly.
Foreground and left edge do have sharpening artifacts, but that's a minor (and fixable) nit in an otherwise beautiful work of art.

This is fantastic, so much motion and texture for the eye to explore, I love it!

Very cool photo.

Yeah, that's it! Amazing combination of "stuff" in this. It's cool how the patterns of loose sand are opposed to the angles of the striations below.

There it is!! Nice Shot Morris-the curving lines move the eye through the image well

Cool! One of my favorites from you, Morris.

Terrific abstract. The patterns and textures are truly wonderful.

Morris,

Love the converging lines as well. I especially like the blue highlights. Really nice.

Great shot of the cross-bedding which is found in all sand-dunes!

Wonderful! I could really see this working great as a high contrast B&W as well!

amazing

i like it

Great abstract shot, a wonderful find.

Very effective abstract Morris. Excellent light and comp as well.

Amazing. The patterns and texture are wonderful. Great light too. Very nice work, Morris.

Awesome! those are some incredible lines/patterns.

I love how the lines curve in the distance, just a killer line for the eyes to follow!

A very unique presentation of dune photography. I like the textures,
lines, and abstract nature of this, plus the color also works well.

Now we're talking Morris! this is an incredible nature image and abstract. The flow of the lines and the repeating rounded patterns in the sand are wonderful. I think what may go un noticed that I'm really enjoying is the hint of blue in darker sandy depressions throughout. Just that touch of color contrast does so much for this wonderful scene.

This is fantastic Morris, absolutely fantastic. The lines and design, the textures and detail, the subtle warm tones are all phenomenal. Your composition seems to race the eye from fg to back in an arc of wonder. One awesome image that I hope you print big.

That is some sweet light you got on this wonderful scene. This works great as an abstract and almost makes me dizzy as I try to figure out which way is up. Nice work!

I wonder Morris if the rock underneath the recent sands are ancient prehistoric dunes, a fossilized Dune sea with the waves of a recent Dune sea washing over it. Just thought I'd offer a different take on the image, rather than complimenting the obvious depth of the image and the lovely sweeping lines. Congrats Morris it's a great image

Paul

Love it Morris, was hoping you had one of these!! Well done.

Crazy textures Morris. Very cool in every way. I prefer this to the last one.

Totally baffling. I love it.

This is a great "take" on the scene. I like the way you have distilled this to line and texture. Very nicely done.

Cool! How much do you want for it?
Id burn the top portion just a tiny bit.

Morris, you are kicking ass lately! Wonderful image

Very "groovey"! Sorry for the pun. Fantastic!

In a few million years, this will look like many of the canyon walls out west. Ok, maybe in a few tens of millions of years. Cool shot.

Man Morris you really are kickin it...... This rocks and almost looks like rock with sand scattered about.
I wish I can be as productive as you seem to be lately. Hate it when life is busy......

Can't say enough about how I have enjoyed your posts Morris, Great stuff
Keep it up

Killer image Morris. Love everything about it. Well done.

Very nice stuff here Morris. Like this much more than the one with the mountains and sky. Keeps one's attention on the sand and lines.

Marvelous texture
Congrats on the EP.

Congrats on EP Morris. A beautiful piece of art.

Glory be, Morris, this is an amazing abstract. The perspective, the use of the light to best advantage, the converging lines just come together perfectly in this image. Congratulations!

Oh Mommy!

amazing, Morris! more than worthy of the weekly pick - congrats!
