    I like this a lot, Cristóbal. I would have zapped those several small issues in the foreground, but that's just me. I don't tune in as much as I used to but I've really enjoyed your latest productions.

    Another ace!!!! I really like the high key look here with just enough detail. I do keep looking at the 'small issues' in the foreground but not a biggy!

    I do prefer the zapped version. To me, the scene is a rather surreal one....accentuated, I feel, by being handled in B&W. Including the artifacts brings a sense of reality back into the mix that I find somewhat conflicting with my overall impression. Hey, it's a great shot either way.

    I like the artifacts. They add a sense of scale and anchor the photo. Plus the shadowing give them a nice dimensionality. I have many dune shots where I chose to leave little twigs and pebbles in the shot. It makes it real.

    I rather like this, Cristobal. Although I confess I'd like to see it in color as well. nod.gif

    Another great shot, Cristóbal. I could go either way with the artifacts--they didn't bother me in the original, but I can't say that I miss them in the edited version. Your call. If it were mine, I'd shave just a bit off the top to emphasize the panoramic aspect, but it's very nice as is. thumb.gif

    Thanks, I decided to leave the artifacts in, I did zap the lower one on the left that kind of bothered me...

    OK this is my final version. I kept the artifacts except the one on the lower left.

    I like the artifacts, Cristóbal, it gives scale and locates my eye in the foto.

    Well done.

    Awesome, thanks! :D

    I think the artifacts echo the rocks on top of the dune and create a balance of sorts.

    I like this one. Especially with the artifacts....they give even more dimension.
