I like the graphic qualities of this Craig, the curving line of the dune and the light at the tip.

Beautiful lines and love the high contrast. I find the toning makes it look more like graphic art than a photo to my eye. I think I would prefer it as a straight B&W, but that is strictly a personal preference. I really like the image a lot. Very well done!!! A beauty.

I like the clean curving line and simplicity of the composition.

Craig,

The high contrast really emphasizes the beautiful sweeping curve of this dune. I never have been there and this image makes me want to go.

I like the composition and lighting, though I admit I'm not a huge fan of the toning. What time of day was this shot?

Thanks to all for your feedback.

Jason, this was taken at about 8-8:30 in the morning in March 2010.

Agree I'd a less graphic quality. The composition is so gorgeous I think a natural treatment would look even better.
