Critique Style Requested: Standard
The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
The layers of a representational image of this site attracted me and made making an ICM seem like the right thing to do. I thought it would accentuate the layers at the site at the time of day…sunset. It was a soothing experience in the dunes at sunset that day.
Specific Feedback
Regarding the sky, is this a balancing amount relative to the rest of the image and is the sunset blended well with the saturation of the rest of the image.
Technical Details
f/32, iso 100, 0.5 sec, 300mm

Well done, Mario. I think the balance is fine and the colors work well for me. I have to get back to White Sands.
Mario,
Gorgeous! My kinda ICM, love this.
I think the balance is just right - both in terms of color and composition/crop. The color gradient from cool to warm is wonderful. The colors are a perfect blend. Saturation just right. (of course with abstracts, there are no rules about color/saturation… but yours works beautifully.)
In spite of the wonderful pastels of color, which should almost be uplifting and cheery… but for me I get a sense of isolation or desolation; an endless landscape to get lost in. ( Not a negative impression BTW)
The larger view is even better of course!
The only suggestion I have, due to my nitpicky eye… would be to clean up the sensor dust. Not a biggie, but if you intend of printing, certainly should spend a few minutes.
Wonderful ICM. Love it.
Lon I removed some prior but I cannot see any others.
I really like the layers of the colors of your image. These different colors of layers really brought out the artistry of that moment in nature, Mario!
