Mesquite dunes

Very late afternoon with magic light and crystal clear air at Mesquite Dunes

in Death Valley. Your comments and critique is very welcome.

this is a nice image taken with a nice camera set up in a nice location... Not a bad shot at all, but I find myself wanting something to make this image stand out:  better light perhaps;  better sky (with some clouds);  a more interesting and better balanced foreground;  or, perhaps a little more abstraction with the dunes (and a crop which focuses on the top portion of the photo).  Maybe it's just me, but I find the dried bush nearest the camera to be just little bit too large and distracting for the rest of the image.  Anyway, these are quibbles with what is otherwise, as noted, a very nice shot.  Looks like you hit DV on a very nice day;  must have been a great experience. 

Mitchell, I very much appreciate time you dedicated to this image and your valuable suggestions. This is exactly what is Photonet community about - to help each other to be better photographer every day with constructive critique. I believe you are right with that bush in front, I had just so little time to setup a complicated gear I'm using in order to take advantage fro that fabulous light and the composition is probably not the best one. Thank you very much for your opinion!

The composition is good but the image has a blue cast that is not often found at sunset. Removing the blue cast gives the photo a better "look".

A very nicely composed beautiful landscape-shot, Miroslav!

With best regards,

Ruud.

Richard,

You are right, I got back to original slide and I have to agree with you, scan has a light blue tone which is scan artifact and does not appear at the original scan. I removed that blue cast and made this scan to fit as much as possible original slide colors. Hope you like ti now, this is the best match I was able to do.
