Great shot. The shadow lines in the beige sand and top framed blue sky makes for a wonderful result. Nicely done, as usual.

Again, a beautiful shot by Mr. B. What I really like about this photo is how the angle of the sand draws you eye upward towards the sky (vanishing point if I remember correctly ?) I feel as if I’m climbing up to meet a most glorious sky.

Thank you Nareen! I messed around for a bit out there and nothing seemed to look right until I got down loooooooow, as in, laying on my belly. Once I did that, things seemed to fall into place.
