Processing included lots of curves on sky/sandmasks, high pass filtering on the sand, some cleaning up (vignetting/dust spots), and a photo filter to get the original grayness back in the photo.

This is Kari Ann, greetings from the Critique Club:
composition: the high horizon is nice, but the image lacks other composition.
color: the redundant color scheme throughout the entire photo give it a sense of lonliness, and as if your lost in the middle of nowhere.
contrast: nice, the bushes are set apart from the landscape very well, giving it more interest
focus: a good choice of general aperture for common focus throughout the entire shot
depth of field: as stated above, very well controlled and its enough, but not too much
lighting: normally not a fan of flat lighting such as this, i think it really adds to the bleakness of the shot.
other: interesting take on the challenge, i really enjoyed how much detail was to be found. the slight dusting of snow on the sand was a new sight for me, and i appreciate you sending this image for us to all see. Keep up the interesting work, i'll be looking forward to it.
If you have any other questions, feel free to PM me.
-Kari Ann
