Greetings from the Critique Club

Nicely done..very pretty sunset on the white sand. I'm looking at it and wondering which needs removed some of the plant life or some of the sky. As it is the mountains seem to make a wavy line through the middle of the photo and need moved up or down just a little to get rid of the line in the middle effect.

This is a beautiful image and I wonder if it is the fact that it was to be light on white and you have white on light that hurt you...I really wish this would have done better its stunning.

That sand must really be white, to get it to show up as bright as it does against the sunset. :-)

How did I know this one was going to be in there?
White Sands, NM....Heavens!
First off, great picture..perfect place at the right time. However, 'light subject on white background'... light subject= sun White Sands = background.. Nope
White Sands = foreground.

I think this was a brilliant interpretation of the challenge -- and a fine photo.

The sand looks blue on my monitor. I think the composition would work better with less sky showing.

pretty picture, but the sky seems to be superflous for a light on white, and that is too bad
