You title really doesn't do this image any justice, I say that having almost passed over looking, but I am glad I didn't as this really is a wonderful image.

Nice. B&W works well, I like the contrast.

Nice composition and contrast. It has a sense of 'purity' about it. Getting up before dawn paid great dividends.

Was trying for what I thought the photograph represented ... an understatement. Glad you like it!

Ottor,

I hope you have this image printed and hanging in a prominent place. I like it a lot.

This was taken in the early hours at Bruneau Dunes State Park just outside of Bruneau, Idaho. One of my favorite places in Southern Idaho to capture landscape images..

From their website: "The tallest single-structured sand dune in North America rises to 470 feet high above small lakes in the high desert south of Mountain Home. The state park includes desert, dune, prairie, lake and marsh habitat with opportunities to observe nocturnal species. Activities include fishing, birdwatching, camping, hiking, swimming and viewing the stars at Idaho's largest public observatory. Feel free to climb but no vehicles are allowed on the dunes."

Been past Mountain Home a gazillion times; never even knew about these dunes. Thank you for sharing. :)
