Remarks: the vignette, in the sky section of the image, could perhaps be a little lighter and more subtle for my sense of an (otherwise) exquisite image. The diffusion of the forward texture (sand forms and pattern) toward an elusive vanishing point is quite convincing and delicious. Lens and/or aperture choices as well as the degree of toning applied serve the image well without drawing undue attention.

I love the pure emphasis on location, the emptiness and expanse of it all, without addition of a prop or staged element to simulate a more overtly composed landscape. It's a quiet aesthetic that won't wake everyone. Yet the riot it conceals is equally there, churning its delicate gists.

great photograph ! Only thing that is a little distracting are those two darkened clouds in the middle top. I feel like i look at child then cloud.

Nice tones, I like how the ripples in the sand leave to the horizon, nice minimalism.
