It really is a shame you haven't received more comments on this shot and I'm very surprised it didn't finish with a higher score. I gave it a 7 in the challenge and unfortunately am just as guilty for not commenting then. :-)
I like this image on a number of levels. The foreground sand with footprints being the best part (IMHO). The further up/back you go, the less I think the image has a realistic impact. It becomes (for some reason) less "real". I'm sure that this is probably just an illusion, but the colors and textures above the sand become surreal. Not that this is necessarily a bad thing, but I think it fights for supremacy with the natural sand. It's almost like this shot is actually 2 images overlapping - crop more from the bottom and it becomes surreal, crop more from the top and it becomes more natural. I think it's a great capture, I'm just not sure it presented itself in the best possible light for the specific challenge. Make sense? Just my 2 cents... :-) |

| Wow, you got no comments on this one. I don't think I've seen any challenge entries yet with 0 comments. Anyway, I love the interesting colors of this one. If you had cropped out the foreground, I would almost think it was a topographical image of a mountain. I voted it a 7 during the challenge, probably because I thought it didn't depict granular all that much. Still, the photo is definitely very cool. |
