Couldn't resist trotting out at least Photographer Cow for this 'sand-y' shoot. The Cows' sand is white and brown sugar. The tomb was originally meant to be a treasure chest, but realized while shooting that it looked more... tomblike than anything. Light is the $2 wonderlight. Yay incandescents!

This is Kari Ann, greetings from the Critique Club:
composition: strange.
color: The blues are very strange, it dosent seem to tie into any other aspect of the photo.
contrast: a little strong on the background, but i like the contrast in the sand, very nice.
focus: good focus on the sand, sharp and crisp.
depth of field: Perhaps a smaller aperture would have been better, i find the cow and treasure chest out of focus is a distraction.
lighting: I actually like the lighting you did. Just wish more of it was in focus.
other: Some sort of editing line (clone, or heal brush) is visible around the cow and the "tomb". That's a big distraction. Overall, i wish a little more effort would have went into making this into a more acceptable photo. But, you got a ribbon (even a half of one counts for something), and that's more than I can say, so I'll just shush now. If you have any more questions, feel free to PM me.

Not really working for me. Subject is odd, without really having a quirky appeal. Narrow DOF may be too narrow here. Seems like some cloning/editing lines are also visable.
