I would have liked the whole frame in focus as my eye is first drawn to the upper right which seems not to be.

nice shapes on the dunes, and the sand color is nice. I'd like to see this at sunrise or set.

Great shapes, but the sky in the top right could have been cropped out?

Nice photo. Seems to be missing the warm (red, orange, yellow) colors.
