I like how the top of that dune snake from the bottome in the frame. Colours are also nice. Bravo!

Wonderful shot. The sand seems a little smooth, but I guess if it's in constant motion that's easy to understand. The hardest thing about shots like these is finding such nice clean lines which haven't been walked on! I'll bet that later in the day this shot would be even better.

Wonderful viewpoint here. Great composition to capture the sensual lines presented by the sand dune.
Love the colors, focus, and perspective. Very well done.

Beautiful. It certainly looks it's a living, pulsating, breathing mass.

Very beautiful scene, colours are magnificent and this dune of sand so sweet as texture. Your composition is very well made a success.

This dune is great - and your picture perfectly captured its sensuality

I like the very sharp edge and the textures of the small waves on the dune. The layer of the hils and of the sky behind the dune makes a good combination against the colour of the dune.

Very good composition and colours. My eyes follow the line leading up to the sky. It is very refreshing and truly well-seen.

very nice landscape, very well and originally composed, the colours are very nice, i can see some artifacts, mostly on edges though, looks like very strong sharpening... but the photo is nice

The leading lines of the sand to the darker background of the mountains really bring this shot out for me. I'm originally from Colorado, so it brings out a little home-sickness in me as well...

Cette composition est très bien réussie. La ligne de sable donne un très bel effet. Les couleurs sont superbes.

I was trying for this look with my snow drift shot a few weeks ago. So very nice. The lighting is just perfect to both provide details and establish a nice mood.

Wonderful shot with excellent quality.
The dune is like an unconquerable mountain top and the wonderful blue sky urges you to make an effort in order to enjoy the view

This is one for my favourites list. So simple, so sharp. Excellent colours. With your example, I'll have use the polarizer more often. Although I still see the demarcation lines between dark and light colours.

Great composition of the desert and its dune. I like this dune going through the picture.
Did you use any post processing or Neatimage ?

Very nice composition with beautiful curves.
The line of the dune leads the look to the mountains and the sky.

Nicley done.
Three different stories here for us to view...
My eyes track upwards from the foreground and the line created by the dune towards the mountains and then to the blue of the sky/clouds.
Very strong composition.
All the best.
