Edibly good. Love the sand patterns so characteristic of Eigg. I personally feel that the sky is just a little too cramped at the top but of course you would either need to back off a couple more inches or sacrifice the end of those lines, the latter certainly isn't a valid option in my opinion.

Tim, I love the sand patterns in this too! The cool blue tones look wonderful and the details in your large version are really nice. I agree with Ian that a little more sky would work nice here, but a wonderful image just as is. I know you make the best of it while on location and you sure did it here.

Those lines in the fg are unreal. Fits the scene perfectly. Great find.

Welcome back, Tim. I really like this image. The foreground sand patterns are very interesting and the comp overall works for me. Nice work!

Welcome back Tim. It's nice to see another LF photographer here--keep 'em coming!

This is real sweet. The sand patterns are incredible, and the overall images is quite dramatic.\\Well done!

Very cool shot. I love how the sand patterns mimic the mountains -- as though they have some sort of spiky alter ego. The amount of sky works fine for me because the dark cloud cradles the top edge. That helps to keep the top framed nicely. The stormy blues give this shot a very surreal and interesting feel. As Preston mentioned, it's great to see more LF shooters here. We're certainly outnumbered. ;-)

The patterns area really cool, just another interesting element to add to the mix of smoother water, mountains and sky.

Makes me think I'm looking at a scene that's split between the surface and under water. I think the tight sky adds to that effect and separation of image elements. Also the great textures in the sand.

Beautiful image. No suggestions.

Beautiful composition, I like the fg patterns in the sand that match with the mountain. Bravo!

Love those fore ground patterns and the blues in this Tim. Comp works great for me and the large version is just great. Really nice. :toast:

Nice mood, I like the unique lines in the sand as well. I do wish there was a little more room on the right side of the image, but that's a minor nit.

Very intriguing lines in the FG. The ULC seems a bit dark and the horizon is a bit tilted. Nonetheless, I like this. Definitely got a lot going for it.

Ominous looking! Even to the 'dagger teeth' in the sand! Well seen, brilliantly captured view. Congrats on the Pick!

Awesome shapes in the foreground and nice mood. Turning it a little clockwise would make it better I guess.
