Sorry, im running out of titles. Had to check out the pre-storm light yesterday. Did a ~15 mile loop, starting from the main lot at 5:30, heading north to the Sand Ramp trail at Aspen, then across to the Medano Rd and back by late afternoon. The Dunes did not dissapoint!
#1: Sunrise from north of High Dune

Are they gonna make you the resident photog already stan!! Cant decide if i like the "luminous" sand of #1, or the sunny sand peaks of #2, but they're my 2 favs. Nice work!

These are nice and #7 is the most unique from your many sojourns there.
My favorite by far is what you posted at ES&S.

Another stunner of a collection, Standune!

Again another nice set here Sandman. Like the pinks in #1 and the comps in #s 3&5.

All are nice but I really like that last one, Stan. Great light and a really interesting composition. Dead trees rock!

Great images! Those dunes make some great patterns! That BW is pretty dramatic as well.

Maud 'Dib! More crazy good stuff! That first one is singing to me in a color chord that is resonating down to my feet! And I like the tan and blue in #5.

Great images, Stan! Love your title!
Posted by Guy Runco on September 12, 2009 at 9:08 PM
Ha - great title! Excellent images once again, the colors and light peeking over the mountains make #1 my favorite.
Posted by Bob Falcone on September 12, 2009 at 10:57 PM
Love the first one! (but they're all great...)

I'm pretty fond of 1 and 8, Stan. I'm a big fan of tree shots.
That second one has a lot of potential for me - a pano crop that leaves just a little of the hill above the dunes takes that image to a whole new level IMO. A level which I very much like

Great stuff Stan, now your are going to known as 'Sand Rose' with all the shots you have had this year.
Posted by Scott Fricke on September 13, 2009 at 12:20 PM
First one is a stunner. The one with the focus blend has a real unique look to it as well, I like it a lot.
Posted by Jamie Botdorf on September 13, 2009 at 4:27 PM
These are great (as usual), Stan! BTW - there is a nice exhibit at the Denver airport on the "Art of the Sand Dunes"...it is in the corridor between the main termainal and concourse A.
Posted by Jeff Hackett on September 13, 2009 at 8:12 PM
First and last for me. Man you are getting quite a collection of killer images!
Posted by John Klotz on September 14, 2009 at 12:47 AM
I am gonna say it in one word: WOW!
Posted by Art Escobado on September 14, 2009 at 1:56 AM
All around awesomeness! #3 and#5 tho a little tighter than the rest!
Posted by Stan Rose on September 14, 2009 at 10:42 AM
Thanks folks, i finally got done with processing the bunch (took a while with 240+ images, and about half were keepers). Will post my favorite today on ESS.
