This is a tough one to call, Todd. You have a few horizontal lines, none of which are parallel. I think I might go with the vertical to straighten and would suggest removing the very foreground dirt because I don't think it adds anything of interest. As far as dust spots, I can't see them. Someone has better eyes than mine.

Regards,

Carol

Thanks for the comment Carol. I took one without the sand but it seemed to cut off. I have done that before then when I go to frame it the matting cuts it off even more so I left it in for this one.
