    Love the comp, dramatic light and the strong play of diagonals and curves here Andrew!
    How steep was the climb up this dune in the thick sand??

    could it perhaps use a hint of dodging in the FG, particularly the rocks for a bit more pop upfront?

    Hey Andrew,
    Very dramatic! Agree with lightening and giving a bit more contrast to the FG.....but still and excellent job overall!

    Andrew,

    I agree, great composition of some excellent lighting and atmospheric affects.

    As mentioned FG is flat. Selectively apply some curves adjustments to it to increase contrast and tonal separation.

    Hi Andrew, very nicely composed. I like the cluster of rock on the right and the double rainbow is great. A touch lighter on the foreground and you're good to go! Nice one!

    Thanks all for the very kind words and suggestions. Morkel. it took me a while to drag my frame up this half dune / rocky outcrop......I am glad I took the 90 min crawl .....the vista was mind blowing........:)

    Andrew, Lovely capture, here is a possible follow up edit of where I see taking it:



    Note: I did not increase the saturation of the photo, I only increased contrasts already within the image.

    Hi Andrew - I'm a little late to this one. Beautiful scene and the comp is great as is the double rainbow. Good suggestions above for opening up some of the areas. The image has a painting type quality to it.

    TFS,
    Rachel
