This is a wider composition of the dunes compared to my last post here. The wind was still blowing fiercely. The small cloud and more foreground elements in this photo make it less abstract than the last one. I appreciate any thoughts as to which is the more effective image. Thanks in advance!

Hi Jon. I think I like this image slightly better than the previous. I like the comp here with a little more room at the top. I think I might play around removing some of the tracks in the FG that distract some from an otherwise strong B/W presentation.

The sky bothers me a bit. I would crop most of it out.

I like this one better, and would also crop out the sky down to the highest one on the upper left. That really helps the eyes settle on the sand, which is the heart of the photo. Love the textures and lines, gradations of light. I like the bottom right corner better than in the last one.

I like them all Jon, but my favorite is the first with the sky cropped out.
