The dunes in Eureka Valley, Death Valley National Park.
Towering 180m above the valley floor they are home to a unique and isolated ecosystem.

Taken at 200mm. Some people gripe about this lens. It's far from perfect, but it's so versatile and gets the job done!

There was really almost no editing done on this one. Raw conversion, contrast boost, vignetting correction , resize.

Very crisp. I like the lines in the dunes. Like the play of light and shadows. Has an abstract feel.
