Beach Dunes

[Jackie Schuknecht]

A little past the wire for landscapes but just want to show I am doing my homework. :) Posted it in the Landscape section but thought you guys might want to see it.
Took this on Friday and walked around for a couple of hours and took lots of shots from different angles of the beach til I got one that I liked. Converted into sepia.
40D
f22
1/60s
Sigma 10-20 @ 20
AV mode, evaluative +2/3
HH in the wet sand
Cropped a little off the top
Looked for an element of interest in the FG, and no clouds that day so I put one in.

Hi...The sepia effect works well with this type of image. I like the elements of the shell and the grass in the foreground with the backround on a diagonal. The wisp of a cloud gives the sky the boost it needed. Well thought out!

[Oscar Zangroniz]

Love the composition Jackie and the effects you were able to achieve by converting it to Sepia.
Very well done.
Congrats

The foreground framing is brilliant !!! Do you have a color version for comparison? I like it a lot !!!

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Colour version.

Jackie, They are both terrific! Can't decide which I like more-

[OvidiuCavasdan]

Gorgeous image! The framing is excelent.
I like the first one more.

[Nonda Surratt]

I also like both a lot!!! Different feel to each, really well done Jackie and I love that shell in the foreground.

jackie, i saw this one in landscapes and loved it then as much as now. it's amazing how that little shell makes the image. nice job with the addition of the clouds. very clean job!!! i love the sepia version. feels natural and is just perfect for me!! keep up the great work!!!!!!

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Thanks Harold. I found the shell just before I took the image and placed it in. Seems to have made a big impact on the shot. Thanks for your comment, very much appreciated!

[Alfred Forns]

Hi Jackie I was hoping the sand was totally white like the one you see out at White Sands !!!

I like both very much and each has its own appeal

Very striking, Jackie and the sepia is my favorite.
