Greetings from the critique Club!

First of all, huge kudos on getting up at a ridiculously early hour to get this shot...been there, done that! The light is gorgeous, and honestly I still can't quite tell if it's snow or sand, though I am guessing it's sand :-) Great use of that magical light.

I have to agree with the comment regarding the two T-posts on the left. Mind, cloning out the long shadow being cast by one could be a little tricky, but not undoable. My main problem with this shot is that it's quite static - you need something with a pulse, beit a seagull coaxed in with bread, or a human figure, to break up that wash of sand and not only give a sense of scale, but also to add some story to it...if there were a human in there we'd be wondering who they were and why they were there.

Hope this helps, and feel free to PM me with any questions,

Susan

Nit picky on my part...but I would have cloned out the two poles on the left and the one in the mid-section. And it seems to need just a touch more "brightness"...I know it's sunset but it's a bit dull to me...No offense intended

Somebody should call the Sierra Club, alert them to all the wonderful photos in this challenge. It's truly amazing. What a beautiful planet we have to live on. Thanks for posting this shot
