dpmichaels 0 Posted March 23, 2005 Honestly David I think this photo has tremendous drama and impact but the composition doesn't deliver. The eye meanders without a real focal point as the foreground takes you off the page. I think you have some great elements here but I'd like to take a few steps to the left . . . . Offered in a humble spirit. David Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted March 23, 2005 I would have given you a 7 rating instead of a 6 if it was just a tad lighter. Great photo! Link to comment
david choo 0 Posted March 23, 2005 David, I agree with you completely. I thought exactly what you said as I was shooting the photograph but was unlucky in finding a foreground dune that would do what I wanted it to do. Thanx for the honest critique. :) Link to comment
dpmichaels 0 Posted March 23, 2005 David, I really think you're on to something with your values and tones. I'm looking forward to more cool stuff.David Link to comment

hunter 0 Posted March 24, 2005 the light and angles play in the dunes is always hard to capture. I have experienced that myself -- the perfect moment, with the perfect ligth, in the perfect spot is hard to come by. This is a great photo. I agree that some tonal adjustment might help lift the image to being truely striking. Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted March 25, 2005 David, IMO the image is nicely ballanced, it has 3 parts ( like layers..) the brighter forground is ballanced by the darker sands on the left and than the eye go's to the rays of light on the sky. textures are beautiful. Nicely seen and captured. Pnina Link to comment
