Which one?
I've been playing around with some shots of the dunes from my trip to the outer banks. Which one do you prefer? Any suggestions are appreciated as well.

Thanks

Wade

Definitely the first. The tonal range is much better, and the composition (the strong curve of sand, the sky drama, and the small hint of ocean) put the first well above the second.

The first is the winner!

Wade, I'd agree the first is stronger. What I like about it is the clouds and how they balance the dark spot in the dunes on the right side. Both are excellent but the first really rocks!

The first for sure. The sky has a bit more interest in it. :toast: Ron

Take the clouds from #1 and put it with the dune patterns of #2 ! No problem right?

Hate to jump on a "bang-wagon" but I have to say #1 is the winner in my mind without a doubt. Nice shot!!!

I'll take the top third of #1 and the bottom two-thirds of #2. :biggrin:
