Beautiful stuff. Love the leading line coming in from the right pushing your eye to the sunset.

What a beautiful place. The colours are super! My only nitpick is the bushes on the left. the black dots in what otherwise is a super clean image. Had it only had those beautiful sand dunes and the great skies i think it would've been a lot stronger.

Btw,

A bit of a hike for these this time Usually you just walk a few dunes in from the road and the sand is untouched, but not this time ... Some other hikers or photographers contaminated them with footprints, so I had to keep moving in so far that I got lost after the sun set. Finally found some aiming east and followed them to the parking area. I guess I was so caught up thinking photography, I didn't considering bringing my GPS, flashlight and/or smart phone, and I almost had to spend the night sleeping on the dunes for it.

Liban - Thanks n I see what you mean about the black dot bushes: not bad looking per se, just that it would have been better if they were not there. I also love the softness about this sunset .. it differs from all the other times I've been to WS.

Jet - I didn't even notice that line! Maybe it influenced my eval of the shots though.

Also, this is an HDR. I seem to be doing a lot of those lately.
