Some more Dunes
Here's a few from sunset the other day, another one (non sunset) on ESS. This is from a dune near Star Dune that i feel has better lines than Star Dune, although star has a better view of the Crestones...

"Very slow these days in the forum... "

Many of us are "summer shooters and sunshine photographers." (with apologies to Thomas Payne)

The warm light on the dunes and the white peaks really grab the attention in #1. The darker holes at the bottom stop my eyes from moving though.

Hi Stan, I think I remember that dune and its lines you shot from from Image #1. Lighting is very nice! I'm just not a big fan of the frozen sand in the winter. Number three looks like a shot south looking at Star Dune!!!

BTW, just sent you an email. Let me know if you don't get it, the address I have may be old.

Yeah, it has been slow, but you know it always is this time of year. It's not winter, and it's not yet Spring. Mostly uninspiring.

While these are all nice, I honestly don't think they are up to par with your usual excellence from the dunes. The one on ESS is clearly the best of these, and totally worthy to be in your exceptional portfolio.

I agree Morris--just needed some feedback on these. As for the slowless--it's more than seasonal, even ESS is at a snail's pace. And even TC has abondonned us for FB (shame, shame, TC :wink: )

I'd say #1 is the best of the three, great color on the dunes and some great line going on in the sky that gives the image great depth. #2 has some nice color in the sky but isn't doing anything for me compositionally. #3 has a nice comp and I like the darkness of the dunes in the mid ground.
