Very nice shot, the three elements of the sand, clouds and rock make for a very interesting composition. Great BW conversion. Is there really that little texture in the sand, or is this may due to a little too much noise reduction? I feel that the image lacks a little contrast in the nearby foreground.

The clouds were very kind to you as were the markings in the sand. Great photo all around, and it keeps you looking. Even the distant background is interesting.
