A couple from the dunes...
Spent a cold and very windy day at the Great Sand Dunes on Friday the 13th w/Adam Schallau. Thought I would share a couple shots. The first is Adam up on a dune getting sand blasted! :biggrin:

C&C always welcome! :smile:

I like 'em both! Is it ever calm at that place?!
Your HDR work is exemplary, Philip. :cool:

Actually, both of these are single exposures! :smile:

Both are very nice, but #2 is my favorite. Warm light with layers of sand and clouds. Well done.

Ooops...pardon me then, please. :redface:
That's an amazing shot regardless. I just love it.

The earth and sky contrast and compare with each other well in the second shot.

2nd is fantastic. Really captured the structure in the clouds, and the layers in the dunes.

Both are wonderful. I love the man and nature aspect of #1. #2 is just, Wow! Great stuff, Phillip.

Both are great images, and both very different. I really like the clouds and light in #2, very nice!!.

The edge lighting on the dunes is quite striking in the second image.
