Taken at the Oceano Dunes of Central California. A special little spot not many know about. The sun light was wrong that day and so did not get the sharp contrasts we love to get from dunes. Took a lot of ps play to pull this out. Went back a few weeks later with mom 'Younger'(recent ribboner!), when the sun was right, but this formation had already changed! I loved the shape of it so had to use this shot. But on the other hand the clouds really top it off for me.
Wow, 7th out of 501! Thanks all for your votes! So glad you liked this as much as I do.

Top 10! Congratulations! I, of course, expected this to blue. It is IMO. I read the comments on the blur. It looks like it was a windy day with blowing sand. Very nice as usual.
Heck of a finish, Bea! Congrats on making top 10 in such a difficult challenge with this lovely, moody shot! Nipomo Dunes, if I'm not mistaken? I spent many happy hours there with the view camera back in the day...
Just when you think you are sick of these damn sand dunes another one comes up and I think "why couln't I get such delicate curves then I shot these damned sand dunes?". I take my hat off to you. Good find, and the choice to blur the fore and backround works very well
Love your shapes as well as forms. I wish the clouds were whiter and the little triangle of dark to the left was not there. I still voted this one very high and will not be surprised to see it top 10. congrats ahead of time. ;)
