Hey all, just posting one shot for now. I'm very happy overall with the colors and the way this came out. Any opinions are welcome.

This was shot at Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park in Utah, near Zion NP, around sunset last Wednesday night.

Great shot with the wind carved sand. It seems as though your in the middle of the Sahara desert.

Very well composed and, great contrast with the shadows, sky and bright sand. Very nicely done!

Great shot. I love how there's still some detail on the shadow side of the dune.

Very well done. You were lucky the wind had obliterated all the ATV tracks!

Heck, you were lucky to catch it without ATVs riding all over the dunes. Nice shot.

Wow, thanks to everyone for your extremely kind comments. I really liked this image and decided to hang it, but I'm thrilled it wasn't just me who likes it.

I was really lucky that all of the tracks were gone from this particular dune. I was probably 100 feet or higher, and focusing on the last 25 feet, which had a generous among of wind constantly berating it. My footprints were disappearing pretty quickly, too!

Absolutely beautiful.

This is a wall hanger for sure. Beautiful capture of the light and sand. Perhaps a 3:2 format with a little less sky? :cool:
