You're good at finding these puddles aren't you. Very nice indeed, by only nit would be to tone down the central middle sky as the brightness draws you to it too quickly. What is the equivelent 35mm lenses length - 15mm?

PS I love the tonality of the sand..

Thanks Tom.
The Sony A350 is a 1.5x crop sensor camera so the 10mm I used here would be 15mm on a full frame camera.

me likes this, as you know .Perhaps a grad with some multiply layer cover will pull that sky back.But a class bit of work all the same .

Nice bottom half, although I'd perhaps reprocess the top middle as the sky is blowing a bit...maybe a reverse grad may solve the issue as the top half looks quite a bit darker.

Composition is spot on though and suits my tastes.
