sand dune...Tottori Prefecture, Japan

The idea is good here. The textured foreground, curves and shadows are all sound elements for your composition.

The execution needs a bit of work though. It's probably just your scan but the image is unsharp and grainy. The sky is a little washed out, but more detail could be gained either with a soft ND filter or some burning-in in Photoshop.

Good luck,

Leigh.
