Dawn-break & Landscape

This will probably just make you sad, but if this image was cropped more square and the sun JUST off to either side of the dune, you would have won. As is, I'm going to guess you're at about 6.3 to 6.7. What a great picture! The unusual crop almost never scores well on DPC. I do like it, personally. 9.

Kidding, right? I just wonder how many people would have given Heida's Angel a 10 if it was me with my arms on the rocks standing there. Good looking models add to the beauty of a picture. If it was a 300 pound model it would have gotten humor points for me, but the PULL of the photo would have been different. I tend to vote on emotion and impact the photo makes on me - this one pulls me. A 300 pound guy in the same pose would not do the same.

Very nice composition - I like the patterns and the lines. Did you run noise reduction? It looks like it could use a little bit - esp. top right. Excellent toning.
