I like the warm color of the sand and the pattern of the ripples. Nice.

Very cool abstract, almost hypnotic. The glow on the sand is icing on the cake. :toast:

The colors, textures and light are sweet. There is just something about the comp that makes me feel uneasy, as if all the sand would run out of the left side if the not for the edge of the frame. But it might just be me,,,,I've been called unbalanced more than once. :rolleyes:

There is an amazing feel of flow and motion in your image for me, Chet. Wonderful glow and nice detail, too.

The glowing sand and the ripple pattern are striking and lovely. Personally, I'd like to have a little more lower left to upper right eye movement and you might be able to help that with some dodging especially in the upper right quarter of the frame. Right now, my eyes are mostly attracted to the lower left and middle left 1/3rds.

Chet,

Love this! wonderful light, lines and texture. Beautiful. I could see a square crop, with all top, bottom and middle portions viable crops - You get 3 for 1! Of course, great as presented too.
