One from a trip to the US a few years ago, really loved white sands - going back in September so hope to hit it again, for a few days this time.

I like the minimalist comp, the velvet colors and the mood created. Beautiful work for my tastes. No suggestions.

The sand is enchanting! Shadows and snowy appearance with the yucca is a fine of comp as any. I might crop the sky significantly …just to keep the emphasis on the sands. Well done!

I really like the pastel colors and the textures of the sand. Almost like cream cheese. Not to mention the phenomenal light. Very, very nice.

Beautiful pastel lilac light display almost purpose built for Velvia.

A most exciting image to me, Tim. An appealing tension and perfect balance that keeps my attention, as well as delightful details in the foreground sands. Velvia - I suppose - at it's best to my eye!

I like this a lot, Tim. Lovely detail and gorgeous light--perfect for V-50. I'm on the fence with respect to a crop of the some of the sky. You did a great job handling the exposure.

Sorry I'm late in commenting on this image, Tim. Outstanding, IMO. I like the well balanced comp, lines, color, sky, and yucca focal point. I've never been to white sands, but this sure entices me to try to get there. :toast:
