| To me, the "strip of blue" give the dunes some reference of scale. To me, that makes it very defining. Love the capture, Dave. |

| Thanks to all for the comments. The consensus critique seems to have to do with the strip of blue (not actually sky, but part of the Sangre de Cristo mountains behind the dunes). I struggled with this myself and didn't know which was the right way to go - which makes the feedback here so interesting and valuable. I had one commenter who liked and might have preferred even more of the blue. My reasoning when taking the shot was that I loved the crisp edge to the gradient fade of the top layer of dune, and without the strip of mountain behind it, I found it much less powerful. But, I also admit it is as much distracting as it is defining. I have other shots from this session that didn't include the mountains behind the dune and I like them less. |

Hi from the Critique Club,
You asked for your shot to have a comment from a member of the Critique Club.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Gorgeous shot,
The only thing is the little strip of blue, it is distracting from the shot. You have done really well with this shot, with focus, sharpness and colours.
Not a lot I can add, as this really is an amazing shot. |

| Great! I have to wonder, though, what that little strip of sky is buying you here. Without it, it would be almost completely abstract, and to good effect, I think, but maybe that's what you were trying to avoid. Anyway... |

| ahh another sand dune ........ I love these as they take me to a place of calmness and serenity ... what I really like is that you included litle sky and no foreground that wasn't sand.. extra points for that. |

| I wish you had cropped the top a little tighter, so you can't see the mountains back there. |

| How beautiful. I would have like to see a little more sky in the b/r to give it a better sense of greatness and perspective. |
