WC#768 - Diagonal Lines

Gallery: Weekly ChallengePosted January 4, 2017371 views4 comments

Another from White Sands NM.
I'd in retrospect not have the plants so centered, but it is what it is.
Still with diagonal lines.

Nice, airy feel to this, Sandy, with very delicate, cool tones. I like the perspective and the composition a lot.

A wonderful desert scene with a lot of natural & random diganol sand swirls. The bright sand and light is a bit harsh, but maybe a slight down turn in gamma exposure might be worth another look.

Love the squiggles in the sand, Sandy. The Yucca pods make a fine focal point against the sky, but are too centered for my taste, depending on what there, I think angling the camera view a bit to the right would have been good.

Lots of little wiggly diagonals here, Sandy! The patch of light tank brush on the right actually helps compensate for the centered plants so it works quite well for me.
