Sand II

Another photo from the Great Sandhills in Saskatchewan taken last summer.

Pradeep, This dose not have the leading lines of the first post, but I like the sky on the right side. Don't know what was in the FG right, but I might have centered that sky and had less FG.

Needs stronger leading lines, but the sky is nice (if a little too dark/blue at URC). Sand dunes are a very difficult subject.

Thanks guys. I'm trying to get to know photographing sand dunes as I'm planning to head to death valley or white sands national monument this spring. So more sand pictures might follow and all the feedback is very very helpful

Pradeep,
I feel the sand needs to be clean in these type of shots. Not a bad image but not quite a framer either. Keep em coming. I enjoy your images from around the world!

The sky is beautiful and the colors are nice...but I just cant get past the little grasses in the sand, and the lack of rolling dunes. I see you were going after the early/late light and the little shadows in the sand...which does add some interest.

I like the way the texture/pattern of the clouds & sky complement the rippling sand in the FG. Also, the use of light and shadow from your angle of view helps to define the gentle rolling nature of this landscape.
