Excellent - creative idea. Only one small thing - could be more light (not necessarily a lighter photo - but more light in the photo) - otherwise this is really great. 9 from me. Ruthann
I like the white against the red/pink, and how you have managed to get some of the grain of the sugar. I half way expect to see an ant or other small creature on skis. I think moving to the left a little would have allowed the shadows on each of the dunes to be really visible.
This is a good shot but could have been much improved in post production. Using Photoshop or similar adjusting the levels to make the sugar whiter and then playing with brightness and contrast makes a huge difference. I saved your image and tried it and it makes a huge difference. It looks fantastic with a black background instead of red and converted to greyscale is very cool. I do like the shot though. You will probably like your shot better but take a look at it the way I worked it //uk.photos.yahoo.com/bc/martinwoods_uk/lst?.dir=/Yahoo!+Photo+Album&.view=t
Like the abstract image you created. Don't see any texture though and if these dunes are made of sugar shouldn't there be more white besides the few specks of white that read like noise
