Hi Jose,
You are getting very nice detail and sharpness with that lens even at f8! I really like the contrasts you have going on....with the lit peaks of the dunes and the shadow area.....throw in the rocks....with the nice FG one on a diagonal and the distant one slightly offset.....Just very nicely done and presented!

Jose,

Really like the high-contrast look of the image and all the details in the sand. As Roman mentioned, the rocks and there movement inthe sand created a good opposing pattern in the sand. Well seen and composed.

Lovely patterns here. Well 'seen' & captured. Do you have other images of the same scene from the left of where you were standing + pointing camera rightwards - am trying to imagine placing the 2 small pebbles on either diagonal corners of the frame instead of keeping them in same line as in this image.

Jose,
The patterns on the sand create a feeling of depth and lead your eye into the image. The diagonal tracks formed by the two rocks along with the positioning of the rocks - one infront of the other - gives the feeling of a triangle and enhances the composition. Well done.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Beautiful capture, the light is wonderful and the leading lines from the pebbles are great. I really like this comp. Kaushik offers a good idea as an alternate but this is fine as is to my eye.
