Certainly makes me want to visit!!
Just what I was thinking!!
WOW that's huge! Oh, wait. This is the critique section. Have to say more than that. I think the use of contrast is very well done here. The shadows are dark without losing detail and the light is bright - again without losing detail. Your perspective brings out the size of the dune nicely.

Don,
I very much admire the care taken with timing of the exposure to capture the glancing illumination of the
shaded, fluted surface not quite in full shadow!
A wonderful image, for that!
Way to go, Don!

The light and shadow is magnificent. Well caught!
Makes me appreciate the beauty that God gives us just by moving around some grains of sand.
Stunning! I'm amazed all that sand doesn't come crashing and sliding down.

The stability (or lack thereof) of the sand is determined by the principle of “angle of repose”.

I love the way you framed this. Nice shadow and light on the right. I can't see the gritty detail of the sand on the left, but that may be because of UHH. I also like the way the interesting trees stand out against their well lit background. Very nice, Don.
