You have the eyes of sensuality and eroticism. Gorgegous capture of the nature, and i love the composition as well. Is this in dead valley?. I must accompany you some time :o).

Thank you Tanya for your visit and kind words.... This is from the sand dunes located at Mesquite Flat (near Stovepipe Wells) in Death Valley NP. Sand dunes change slowly but constantly by the winds. So repeated visits are necessary to get the images you want.

A wonderful work Brad, I like it a lot, ...very original, it is true that the first impression we send an erotic idea in mind, in any case... it's very well done! Congrats and best regards.

Erotic and poetic such I have not yet seen sanddunes do that strange tango of opposite ideas. Toast

A beautiful photo which led me to check out the rest of your portfolio. I hate to leave vacuous comments, but there's nothing I can say beyond expressing my admiration for your work- the whole series is amazing. There are a lot of pretty but meaningless landscape images out there. Yours have depth and feeling. Congratulations.

It creates intense disbelief and simultaneously suspends it.
The square format works magic here, it is difficult to imagine the scene in any other format.
The lines, lights, and shadows mixed with what I've interpreted as blowing sand... nothing and everything all at once.
I think it's wonderful.

One of the finest examples of a sand acting as a mimic for the nude I've ever seen. It's difficult to determine the scale, too. The ripples on the right look like fingerprint ridges.

This just is not interesting or exciting to me. It kind of lands with a thud. The subject is overdone, the composition awkward, due in part to the crop, the tonal range is muddy, and I don't like the square crop and forced black and white, in general or in this case. As a likeness of human anatomy it seems accidental and then contrived.

Brad, I'm not sure I would say the subject has been overdone, but it sure has been a staple of black and white fine art photography over the years. One of the things I find different about this one is the lack of those deep, fathomless shadows, and long sinuous curves. The composition is by no means simplistic, and creates an uneasiness that I find heightens my curiosity. I would agree it's a little risky.

Brad did you turn or flip the image? It looks upside down or turn sideways. Not that this is a bad thing, I like the photo very much.
