Outstanding image Henk! Your name suggests you're from Holland, am I correct?

I like this one. Light, composition and texture all the perfect definition of sinuous. Well done!

Henk, I like this for the light, texture and the lines outlining the dune. In other words I like everything about it. :smile:

Beautiful and sensuous. I love the soft pastel colors and the textures just scream "comfort", "warm", "inviting", "peace". Wonderful choice for this special cause.

Anybody who's read more than three nature/landscape photo books has seen more than three sand dune images. I myself have read about 50 and seen about 100 sand dune photos. Of all of them I have seen, this is my favorite!!!! :toast: :toast: :toast:
