| has the right elements, but doesn't quite work. Need to isolate more and simplify the composition. Just the shadows on the sand could have been striking |

| this picture would sell like hotcakes (what does that mean?!!) in my town, what with all of the tourists and those of us who appreciate good photos! The only thing I might have done differently is crop the far left to get rid of the house and only have the fence in the frame to focus on the cool lines and contrast. nice job. |

| more of the dune and less of the fence. sand looks really nice in B&W |

| I would have liked to have seen more of the shadows in the sand! |

| Very cool use of shadows. I like how the breaks in the fence leave striped areas interspersed with sunny areas. The rounded softness of the sand also contrasts well with the straightness of the sticks. |

| I really like this one. The effect of the straight lines on the pitted sand is neat. Would have been nice if you could have taken it from a perspective that didn't include the billboard and house...maybe include a little more beach to extend the line of sight. The house/privacy fence kind of stops the image abruptly for me. |

| Check out the outdoor macro shot challenge. This is a nice shot of a dune, but it doesn't capture the beach as well as the macro shot did I feel. I would have preferred less depth of field. Overall good job. |

| I lived it the top of a dune like that when I was in the second grade...we had the world's biggest sandbox (and lost a lot of shoes). |

| This is a very good shot. I like it for two reasons: it really takes advantage of being a black and white image, and conveys an amazing mood. A stand out image for this week! |

| nifty! I wish the sand was a touch whiter, fence posts too - but I like it. good job. |

| Very nice use of textures, patterns and shadows. Also, very good composition, but it seems just a touch dark to me. (I'll check on another monitor, later). |

| I love the texture of the shadows on the sand. This is one of those photographs that works better in black and white than it would in color. |
|

| like the shadow effect of the fence on the sand...neat. |
|

| Oh, I wondered if anyone was going to do this. I like the high contrast. The repeating lines obviously give it interest, but even more so because of the wavy lines of the shadow sand ones. I might have cropped the black top right, but that's a nitpick. |

| My dad made a bunch of dune fence pictures back in the early 70s. They make a great subject - geometrical blended with the organic curves of the dunes, good shadows, textures of wood and sand, etc. To work really well, though, it's important to isolate a pattern and focus on that. The houses in the bg and second fence just draw the eye away from what you're trying to show here. |

| I really like the shadows of this photograph. The dark post comming out the center is a little distracting to me. |

| The shadows do it for me... |

| I keep coming back to this. Must be the combo of lighting, shadows, textures, and geometry. Good photo. A top 5. |

| One of my early favorites -- your use of lines vs. curves and a range of textures and tones is outstanding. Wonderful shot. |
|

| Wow, the distortion of the shadows over the sand is wonderful. You have a great eye for detail. |
