Ok a week later and I'm still finding sand in things. I've even found it in stuff I didn't have there!

Last one..... for now

James,

The "Last one" is really stunning with the layers and bold contrast. Nice!

I really like the look of the last one. The parallel lines and the sharp contrasts.

Wow hohooo!

That last one is killer!

I love the three distinct and powerful layers! You were holding out on us. These are great!

I like the last one, too. On the first one I'd suggest reducing contrast on the mountain and increasing it on the dunes.

James I like the second one. The dunes in the first one appear to have a lot of noise to my eye... bumping the exposure in post processing can really accentuate noise in the dark regions of the scene.

The first is nice. The second is even nicer. I'd probably agree with Todd's suggestions for tweeking in PS.

That second one is beautiful. I love the contrast and comp. NIce work James!

I have to go along with the crowd and say I really like the 2nd one..

Awesome, just awesome. #2 is especially sweet.

That 2nd one is plain wonderful! What gorgeous light!

Posted by Nick Moore on April 6, 2008 at 10:17 AM

Sweet shots James, I really like #2 and how the light is hitting the Dunes!.

Posted by Bill Pelzmann on April 6, 2008 at 2:35 PM

Ditto on #2. Can't beat that lighting!

Posted by Dan Walters on April 6, 2008 at 5:35 PM

Great images. I really like the light in the second image.

Oh, and it would be cool if you could add the names of the mountains. Thanks.

I like both equally, but agree with Todd 's suggestions on the 1st one. Thanks for posting.

Posted by Stan Rose on April 7, 2008 at 1:38 PM

That second is awesome, James!

I'll chime in with the chorus and say that #2 is out-freaking-standing.
