Thank you, Everyone, for all your wonderful comments. It makes me feel so happy that so many people like my picture.

It was hard for me to take this picture, the last time I went to the dunes specifically to take a picture for a challenge (for the Light Challenge in May) I had a call on my cell phone that my Dad had been put into Intensive Care. He died only a few days later, shortly after I flew to my Mom & Dad's home.

This summer my husband and I had a wonderfully fun trip to the Dunes with DPCer Van Truan and his family which took away most of the bad associations with the Sand Dunes and now this picture has made me be able to appreciate their stark and unusual beauty again.

Thanks again, to everyone.

This is really a cool picture of the Dunes, Robert - I've never seen one like it & I've seen LOTS of pictures of the Dunes (and have taken lots)since we have lived so close to them for 27 years. Next time we're there I'm going to try something like this! Very original and unique.

Great sky! The red flowers in the front are very nice and so is the fence.

This looks like a wonderful autumn painting. The reflections in the water are lovely so are all the warm colors.

Your picture is really gentle and nice - I can almost hear the sounds of birds and insects. The yellows and greens are very visually appealling.

Your picture has such understated beauty. It really looks like a beautiful old painting. The water is lovely and so are the colors. The sky is so nice and muted looking.
