Stunning shots! My favourite is the first one with that long exposure. It looks great. Well done.

Very nice. I love the 2nd one. I have wanted to get out there for some time but can never convince anyone to come along. Maybe it's time to just go out alone next time I'm in the area.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.
I used to hate math but then I realised decimals have a point.

Really nice stuff. #2 is my favorite. I've taken similar shots there.

It sure is a BIG place out there, but some amazing scenery to shoot. I like the second shot with all the great texture in the foreground.

The third shout out in the dunes has some great light, but presonally the composition doesn't work for me. There is a big "line" running right up the middle of the shot. In looking at it, I think if you did a square crop of the left side, you would lose the mtns in the background, but the lines would be more interesting..imo

At any rate, I'm jeallous that you were out there shooting and I was not. :)

You got great exposure on #3. The middle of #4 is nice. It has the small bushes and cracked ground among all smooth sand.

I really enjoy the first. That water pouring out of the perfect spot...

It's become a favorite here, and looks much better viewed large. Thank you.

You have to go!

It's tough for me to come up with original stuff at most of the National Parks. Thank you for taking the time to comment.

Thanks for that! I did get a few of just the "sand and lines" photos, but figured I'd post up something different. Thank you so much for taking the time and critiquing! It helps a lot!

I shot that little patch in #4 a lot of different ways as I found it so interesting. In this image I wanted to give it scale and such. Thank you for commenting!

Thank you! It's Cascade Falls at Yosemite. Great action right now with the spring runoff.
