It's been snowing for months, I couldn't find any sand! This was shot out of the dirty car window during a snow storm. I added noise to try to make it look like a sand storm. I know I'll get slammed but I wanted to enter anyways!

Brilliant. Quite amazing to get such a high score on an OOB shot. Great idea to create the sand when you don't have any. And the photo is beautiful. I'd have been tempted to remove the utility pole and wires, but they actually work pretty well with this composition.
Mmm. Really like this, really like how you did it, and how many people can get 3 parallel power lines to LOOK parallel AND contribute to the scene... Sets the imagination free to savour the mood. (Congratulations to the unofficial award givers too.)
And I would have been more impressed had you cropped out the power lines, excellent work.
And I would have been much less impressed had he cropped out the power lines. This was the only ten I handed out and is my pick of this challenge. It took some guts to enter this -- power lines, lack of sand and all.
i really think you a better title would do this well. This almost looks like a windstorm rather than a dream. This is probably my absolute favorite photo in the competition. I hope it ribbons!
