sand dunes Reclining Dunes (Click the image to view LARGER)

Oh MY, Brad, this is so splendid, I thought I was looking at a modern statue.

Stunning - as the name implies, I love illusion of a nude figure here. Wow.

Thank you Paula and Rachel for your kind words! Do you agree that Mother Nature is the greatest artist?

So many images have been made out of sand dunes. Whenever I visit the

sand dunes in Death Valley NP, I always find many photographers

working out there. This makes me feel that I have to find new vision,

and I have to make unique images from sand dunes. But I realize it is

not an easy task.

 

Your comments/critiques are invited.

very well done!

nice light and contrast

cheers!

I love what you did. When I first looked at it I would have never guessed it was a sand dune. Great job!

Great image of the sand dunes, I like the arrangement of lights and shadows and composition; it makes me want to caress it since it feels so smooth, I agree with you, nature is the artist, we just record details of its art. I also do sand dunes here in Venezuela , yes is a challenge but I find it is helping me to SEE better.

Congratulations!

Brad, I think you've been exceptionally successful in finding your unique vision here. This series is outstanding.

Yes, when I saw this first, I too assumed it was a nude torso, the broken dune near the top makes a convincing navel on first glance. But then.... Very well seen, I'm glad you challenge yourself in this way. We all benefit.

 

 

This is amazing! Bravo!!!

I love the sweeping curves and delicate wind rippling, the interplay of light and shadow, the wind-carved bowls... A very fine image. Regards...

VEry beautiful play of light and shadow Brad! Very cool shot!

Thank you all who visited and commented on this photo! Viewers' reactions have been more positive than I had expected.... Mother Nature continuously makes changing sculptures on sand dunes. It is up to humans to find/see/enjoy those artworks.

Stuning beautiful tone and light ! Those litle sand waves are perfects !

Hi Brad!

 

You have got it. This is a wonderful dune shot. I like the spot on the top of the frame, it provides a sand reference. Great curved lines with a nice composition.

 

Best regards.

 

as a part woman body...very soft...lovely

that after all is not so abstract at all ;o). Love to look at your dessert photos. They have substances of tranquility, sensuality and elegance. Just "Wow". Best regards, Tanya.

Dear Floriana, Jose, Guzin....

 

My belated thanks for your warm comments on this photo! Your words of supports are what keep me going...!

 

Dear Tanya,

 

My hearty thanks for your visit and very kind words! I have to make more visits to these sand dunes to explore more images... but I have not been able to travel to this place for some time. I miss these sand dunes!

From one Brad to another this looks great. Had to do a double take! Mother Nature's navel.

Thanks, Brad, for your visit and kind comment!

I'm enjoying your portfolio for the first time!  Wow.  This one made me gasp!!  Thanks for your recent comments...

My belated thanks, Don, for your visit and support!
