I like the simplicity of the picture a lot. It is still so detailed and full of different patterns though. Nice job.

the pattern you captured is great itself but the color needed more adjustment and so the shadows. 8

Remarks: This is an immensely and, I think, universally appealing image. The pattern and interest in the upper (background) section is well enough established to consider the composition appropriate and apt.

Being somewhat familiar with photographing similar scenes under similar conditions, I can appreciate the chosen exposure for proliferating the shadows. The myriad highlights (reflected from the sand), however, make for a slightly harsh and gritty texture, especially when sharpened, which is fine at this resolution but likely challenge our appreciative ability at a much higher one. (?)

I would have liked to see more detail in this shot but I'll assume this is due to resizing. The choice of subject and technical aspects are excellent. -8
