Great interplay between the flowers, dune lines and flower shadows. Beautiful. I like this a lot!

Nicely seen. I like the graphic nature, with all of the sand structures and the well placed plants and their shadows.

Were you out there with Stan

Perfectly composed for the sand and flower/shadows. Delicate feel which I like. Might makea nicB/W too. I might try bosting the sat a little, especially the pink flowers.

Real nice! I love the detail in the sand and the wind ripples. This tells a nice story of tenacity.

Well done, Ronald.

This has a "still life" quality to me. A very nice arrangement that the artist then captures to perfection.

I love this photo, with the texture of the sand so clear, lines on the diagonal, and shadows of the delicate flowers. Nicely seen and taken.

Wow, the delicateness of the flowers contrasted with the sand works great!
