This is excellent, Mr.H ! The curves are wonderful and have a nice harmonious feel. The textures and detail are all there, especially in the large version. No nits, here. Well done!

Lovely dunescape, Harley. Great light and shadow, and the various cur es keep the eye moving without losing a sense of unity.

Harley, an excellent take of this dune area. I'm really liking the amazing smoothness of the BG larger dunes. I could actually see a pano crop up from the bottom making the impact of the rear dunes even more so. A wonderful desert dune scene.

Harley: I like the soft light, the shadows and the undulating shapes. The detail on the surface of the dunes can be seen and appreciated in the large version. My only suggestion would be to crop the dark area bottommost as it contains little of interest. Excellent otherwise. Richard

Beautifully done, Harley, some very pristine sand dunes..wonderful wind ripples. No clouds to distract from the scene. I usually like em but not in this capture.

Excellent..
About as smooth as it gets I think, wonderful and the blue sky is a bonus for this.

A smoothness, softness in the image that I really like despite the sharp details - almost as if a wind was blowing over the sand. Hard to explain, excellent job.

Love this Harley! Soft, smooth, sensuous... have already been used, which was my reaction as well, yet this is not without sharp detail! This is an amazing dunescape. And haven't even mentioned the light and shadow play, which is beautiful as well.
There is so much to explore and love about this image. Just beautifully seen, composed and crafted.

Not bad for an old man, I reckon. Seriously, the soft light and shadow play work real well together. Excellent my friend.

This is gorgeous, Harley. The side lighting has done a masterful job of creating some wonderful details and textures in the dunes and I think the clear sky works to your advantage here by making this all about the undulating dunes. Great work.
