Bravo, Coleridge wouldn't have pictured a better place for his Xanadu.

8 - Wow. Very nice contrast of landscapes. Criticism; not much, mostly the sky detracts in my opinion in this shot. Whether you were able to adjust it (contrast etc) not sure, but perhaps an even tighter crop (less sky) would have made this a better shot in my opinion, although I realize you'd lose some 'context'. Like the shadow play on the dunes and mountains, but wonder if just a fraction more 'lightness' overall, possibly showing some more of the green in the mountains may have also made it better. Perhaps even more of the fore 'plain' too, especially if cropping out more sky, not sure, who knows. Good shot.
