 If you sit and stare at the image on your desktop or laptop screen for a bit you will become mesmerized by the visual and mental effects it creates. You have to focus your eyes through and beyond the sand dunes, focus on an imaginary point behind the actual photo but through the photo. Give it a try and see and experience for yourself.

Congratulations. As you know trolls love to hide under the sand, so they are not at all visible in your image.

I really like the angle and the tones on the sand here. You could have even cropped out the sky and made an abstract. I have mixed feeling on the border. I think going with no border or a thinner black one may have framed the image better.
