White Sands Pastel Dusk

You shot the dickens out of White Sands! I've been clicking thru these shots and personally I think they all rock. Your post production on the series is A+. So in the venacular of the 3 Amigos here's the woooo! wooooo! wooooo! and I'm going to throw in an " Attaboy " to boot...Lefty

After the sun has completely set, the high contrast light and colors

gives way to quiet light and softer colors. It is truly a peaceful

time of soft pastels and muted light and that is what I tried to

capture and convey in this image.

This is an exceptionally fine shot Leo. The shades of blue are breathtaking and the composition is quite nice. There's also a lot of great texture in the foreground that I'll bet would look unbelievable in a large print.

...and you did this extremely well. Starting from the foreground with the fine details of the sand riples to the reflections of the last light on the mountains in the background. Exceptional.

It's nice to have an explanation as to what you were after and why you made the photograph, and I think you were admirably successful. I really like the light, smooth patterns of the foreground, and the wisps hanging down from the sky add interest to that portion of the photo. Very nicely done.

Very, very good one! Excellent use of the sand structures in the foreground. Light and the different tones of blue are fantastic. Well done!
