Heavy Metal Dunes
Was at the dunes friday shooting some video for an upcoming song release, and took some stills of course since it is the annual return of Medano Creek (yay!)
Help me pick the winner--only one or 2 at most can survive the cut :wink:

My favorite is #8, closely followed by #1. Great work all around though. :toast:

Just like John, #'s 1 & 5. Good work!

numbers 1 & 5
Posted by Howard Cihak on May 5, 2013 at 9:42 PM
Stan, count me for #1 and #5 as well.
Posted by Bill Pelzmann on May 5, 2013 at 11:15 PM
#1 & #8

If just one image, then I'd choose #5.
For a #7 suggestion, I'd be inclined to crop off the grass along the top, so both top and bottom are sand and the eye gives more concentration to the right dune and creek.

Beautiful set. My favorite is #7 very closely followed by #5.
Posted by Karl Buiter on May 7, 2013 at 3:29 AM
I'm in the #1 and #4/#5 camp.

Rock On!

Surreal Stan! For me in this order 1,5 and 8. Added a third in case you are looking for a reason to keep 3. :toast:

thanks for the feedback, folks!
i like the way Brett thinks--such a maverick! :biggrin:

None of these images really speak to me like some of your other dunes work. #4 has the best light and texture, #6 & #7 look to much like snapshots for my preferences.
