Ciao Jim
Pretty amazing picture. The simple two tone composition is marvelous and gives strength to the image.
I particualrly like the way you've captured the ridge on the dune. Certainly makes a change from the classic red dunes of North Africa...
Bravo

Hey Jim;

Nice shot! I really like the composition and colors...
If I can provide one suggestion. I'm willing to bet that you sharpened this one, added the frame and text BEFORE resizing? If you resize FIRST, then add the frame and the text etc. I think you will find that everything comes out alot sharper.

Cheers Jim!

Hi Jim,
This is very spectacular, at least for me! I never saw white dunes in fact. The contrast between the white color and the blue sky is very beautiful. Nice also that there is those white clouds that are like an echo to the white dune. I also like the pattern of the shadow and the small crest. Very good compo too. I'm discovering your gallery. Very beautiful pictures. I'm impressed. I will follow your inspiring work.
Claire

Superb composition Jim.
This is an interesting subject as we get use to see more often dunes that have sand color yellow or red tone, not white. Excellent !!!

Bonjour Jim,
toutes les rčgles de la photographie sont respectées, ŕ part cela, j'adore les courbes délicates et parfaites de ces dunes, la couleur du ciel qui tranche avec la blancheur des sables.
Net et précis, bien exposée.
Compliments.
Daniel.

Hi Jim.
Superbe endroit que tu as trčs bien capturé.
Le cadrage erst trčps bon et ce contrast blanc-bleu est du plus bel effet.
J'aime bien cette courbe en S, le jeu d'ombres et de lumičre et ces détails sur le bas de la dune.
Bien fait
Fred
