First Kiss

flooding in White Sands..

Very very nice! The pastels, curves and textures come together beautifully. The lake-like water and dunes make for an intriguing juxtaposition, too.

I find myself wanting a little more room on the left, but a minor nit.

What a catch! Kiss of light is right. This is wonderful, George.

Beautiful image George and a great title! The soft light and colors work for me but like Rick wish there was a little more on the left.

Beautiful George. I didn't see it the first time, but I'm glad there is a little texture on the dunes.

Nice combination of cool and warm. I like that only warm light is visible on the horizon but you can see the blue sky reflected in the water.

wow, what a shot

If you hadn't said "White Sands", I would have sworn this was a winter snow pile! Very interesting set of dunes along this little flood area.

Great job here!!! Excellent colors....I also want to see a bit more on the left side but then again I don't know what you went through at the filed composing it. Unique shot, beautiful shapes....regards, Rajeev. :toast:

Very cool, George. I can see this being effective without the sky as well.

That is some killer light! Fantastic picture!
