Wow!! Didnt get to vote on this would of voted it high! Very simple yet shows more then that! It almost fits in the new challenge for this week also for silence!!
Would love to see this composition redone in B&W. Currently not enough contrast to bring out the excellent composition. Tweaking contrast would really make the great shapes of the sand pop out. "7"
I would have done some levels adjustements and played with some black and white options on this. It's a beautiful image with great lines and texture that I think could look better with a little bit of post-processing. Also, the bushes seem a bit blurry. Perhaps this was due to wind and a short shutter speed. Or perhaps it was exactly the effect you were looking for. I think I would prefer them to be more sharply focused, crisp to contrast with the softness of the sand.
Really like your sand stripes and the overall composition. The natural lighting didn't cooperate with you on this day as it's flat. An angled light would have given the strips more punch and accented the trees (a nice compositional element as is the sky)
Good work - a first thought was that this was too muted in its contrast, but I don't know now whether that's really the case. next though was that it was a desert shot - that those were trees, and it maintains that sense of scale even after the realisation that they're perhaps more properly termed shrubs. Great use of the lines in the dune and the lines in the sky to emphasise the composition.
Great Shot! I know the rules are "basic editing" for this challenge. The only thing I would have liked to see is more contrast between the sand and the brush. Good luck.
To far away to really portray texture. A far shot like this say "patterns" to me not texture although I know there is texture. If I make any sense at all!
