Beautiful scene. I would like to see this in the morning or evening (light seems a little harsh in this one). You've got a good composition, and an excellent scene. This shoud do well.

I loved the colors in this shot, and the dichotomy of sand vs. snow. Excellent composition. My one small suggestion might have been to include an element in the foreground. Overall, this is wonderful.

take off about half of the foreground and crop it more panorama and you'll improve this otherwise a nice shot.

Strong composition that has the calendar feel. There is something distracting in the middle at the bottom which I find a distraction. I would have cropped or cloned it out.

I get the idea of contrasting the expanse with the detailed top, but the top portion alone contains enough very contradictory images for me. A panoramic of just the top portion would have been fine. 7

The creek is dry.. I love the Cristos and dunes. Great shot.

The sand in front isn't that interesting. A bit closer to the dunes would improve the composition imho.
