The title really pushes the content even further from meeting the challenge. Sorry,

Spirit of Dawn

Comment:
I think this image would have been better with the 'dunes [lol]' closer to the foot impression in focus, and then shorten the depth of field so the background is slightly more out of focus. That would help isolate the foot impression and make the image more dramatic. insert 'in my opinion' here.

I wonder what two foot prints would have looked like, too, as if the 'spirit' was watching the sunrise.

Pink Himalayan Saindhav

Comment:
I would have preferred all the Saindhav to be in focus and the tabletop/cloth not in focus...

Tree-Fern Spores
by GeneralE

Comment:
Very busy, would like to see more emphasis on the spores and throw the rest more out of focus. The image appears to be re-sized incorrectly, there is some tell tale blurriness.

good attempt, and well executed, but the composition might be improved by angling the [jar] in the direction of the falling motion...

great concept, good depth of field, may not be a show winner, but I will help you get closer...

I like the image, and idea - thanks for putting some effort into this challenge. I am concerned that you may have blurred it in post production, but it may get one of my higher marks in this challenge.

I would have given a higher mark if the image was sharper and had slightly more contrast

this does not exude 'granular' to me, but this is one of the best shots in the challenge (that I have seen so far)
