Greetings from the Critique Club

Love your work, noraneko. You're my kind of photographer.

Okay, to work. Not there there is much work to do on this delicate, delightful image. It's a pattern shot with a little extra work by you to keep our attention on the photograph. Not too blurry, just enough to keep us centered on the frond you accentuate.

The voters appreciated your art in this tough scoring Challenge and I appreciate it too.

Keep 'em coming!

What a great shot, so clean -- now that you've cleaned it up, I guess :) The lines and movement from those lines is wonderful, as are the tones. A scene I would have wanted to shoot but might not have for fear of not being able to capture what I saw; glad you have better vision than I do. And I thought you weren't supposed to clean the low pass filter (that that was a job only for the pros)?

Sand dunes in B&W- gorgeous.

Comment by CNovack:
I like how you popped the whites by use of overexposure for it really compliments the textures & shapes in the sand as well as the shadowplay of the plant that cuts through those 'sand lines' But while the photo does wonders with calling our attention to those details it is less than complementary to the sky which looks a bit too washed/blown out (I don't know what this looks like in color but I suspect it might look really great but in the B&W the lighter tones in the sky look blown out).

This is awesome - as usual! There is an otherworldly feel to this- probably the oversharpenedness of the sand (it works very well - no complaints) and the softness of the sky. The sharpening really brings out the neat lines in the sand and accentuates the different layers of sand.

I hate sensor dust - man, do i hate sensor dust!

Love the contrast of the very white sand against the dark sky. Love the clouds too. It's awesome that you did not lose the detail in the white - I'm sure I would have blown out that area lol.
