LIFE

It is amazing to see those plants survive on these harsh sand dunes... and make a scene for my photograph.

Lovely tones and composition here!!

You sure always do such a wonderful job with the dunes. Love the diagonal striations (might've looked cool to crop or compose from the top just below where that first bush is to get only the diagonals and tones. Great work in any case.

Thank you Emmanuel for visiting! And thank you Jeff for kind suggestion!

I tried to re-compose the image,keeping your suggestion in mind. Please have a look at my re-work. Do you like it?

No pressure either way of course (after all, it is "your" shot! :-)

but this is kinda what I was thinking (though a totally diferent shot),

 

So, long and the short of it, it's just a thought as I already really like what you did as it is.

Cheers

Very beautiful composition.

So simple and yet so beautiful ... and very nice of that tree to grow right there just for you Brad - (you didn't bring it yourself? (0; ? )

 

I also want to tell you that I very much like your bio picture Brad. Has a great atmosphere and a story. Tells more than an ordinary portrait.

Thanks for your visits and comments!

I so enjoy your vision of the beautiful location! Thanks for sharing! Regards, Doug.

Great B+W.....Anil

Thank you All for your contribution for this image! I am grateful for taking your time to visit and leave your kind comments!

Great observation and lovely composition with its curves patterns and shades

It looks a bit underexposed to me, looks like a night picture. If you want to keep a "gray" look it's fine but you need to balance it a little. Cheers

PS: you re-work earlier posted works great, I would definitely go with that one! It enhances both the tree a lot more, and that is the subject, and the dunes that are the "secondary" subject. Regards

So, I think you re-work should look more like this... Ciao!

Thank you, Antonio, for taking your time on this photo! You have a good point... Thanks for your suggestion!
