 Some kind of a beautiful sand formation that I tried to capture in a macro mode. My lens is probably not fit for that, as I get some blur where I do not want it as it is too close. The original picture was desaturated and I used level adjustment tool to bring out the contrast..

I think the image would have been better if there was something 'live' in it such as an insect or running water.

If only it would have had more sharpness... Great idea and angle.

Simple abstract, yet very attractive. The lighting is beautiful.

I love taking close-ups of interesting nature, I am glad someone else does too. It is not always about full landscapes and sunsets (or flowers)... right, LOL. I love this and the B&W was a good choice.

Nice macro. Wonder what your fstop was, and if the wind was blowing because it's especially interesting where it is really sharp.
