Oh this is so pretty! And it brings back such happy memories. I used to live in El Paso when I was growing up, and it was such a treat when we used to get to go to White Sands. I'd love to go see it again sometime. Thanks for the photo in the meantime!

Nice landscape. Gives a solitary feeling. Good shadow on the sands, good sky.

This is so pretty. I LOVE the color of the sky, and how the yuccas are on the left side of the frame. Everything about this is just perfect.

Very nice shot. Great texture in the sand and nice shadow leading off in to the top corner.

Wish we had a beach like that round our way ;- )

Nicely done. I like the angle of the plant and the patterns in the sand.

Probably a very cool place to shoot. Nice colors in the sky and cool patterns in the sand. I wish there was somethign else going on in the horizon. Not that you could have done anything about it, just a craving. 7

I love your composition and the level of details you were watching. e.g. that the horizon is not cutting through the blossoms, the shadows. interesting textures in the sand. good colors. nicely done

Lovely texture and beautiful sky color. I like the long shadow cast across the sand by the plant. Simple but very effective. Well done.

I find these wind blown dunes interesting to look at. I think a more dramatic perspective (i.e. closer to the sand) would work better.
