Hey Michael, congratulations on the Yellow for this beautiful landscape. The sand is turned to a gold masterpiece sculpted by the wind. I think I might know why you're getting comments about a wider crop--the slanting lines on the right are strong leading lines, leading to nowhere. We read from left to right, so those lines are leading downward, to the edge of the frame. It's a slightly uncomfortable experience. I wonder what would happen if it was flipped. Then the lines would be leading upward, into the picture, creating a more comfortable viewing experience. Only a suggestion, Michael. It's beautiful as is.

I whink my eye wanted this to be a little bit wider, but nevertheless a stunning picture and a well deserved third place.

Congrats!
