Why didn't you go pick up all those sticks? They really do distract from an otherwise terrific shot LOL Just kidding (10) I really love the title to image. I hope you do well.
Good idea and rich tones. The composition pulls this down for me ... with the horizon line where it is, the sky competes too much with the sand for attention, and there's nothing up there but the color to hold my interest. I would have liked this better with a lower angle, even lying on the ground, looking straight up one of the wind furrow, with a smaller ribbon of sky at the top. 5
