Blown Away
Hello, My name is George and I am a dune-oholic. I'd take the 12 step program, but it messes up the ripples...

Wonderful image George! The textures really capture one's attention. Well done!!

Beautiful B&W representation of the dunes George. The fragile clouds look like they're about to be blown apart.

I love the composition & BW treatment.
Is this an IR shot ?

Very nice. Wonderful texture and lines.

George, this is nice and different because the wavy line just seems to flow along the dune without being a true cornice. I'm putting my money on White Sands. What do I win?? :biggrin: :biggrin:

Terrific dune image! I also already own the Rodi 75 6.8, but no center filter :frown:

Very nice, George! I like how the B&W puts the focus on the textures. Great shot!

From one dune-oholic to another, this is phenomenal. Curves, textures, tones... all are strong and they come together wonderfully.
