Oceano Dunes - Game of Shadows
![Stumblebum](https://us.v-cdn.net/6029383/uploads/customavatars/58/navatar_81258.jpg)
Oceano dunes are located near Pismo Beach, CA, towards central coast. Most of the dunes are reserved for doon-buggies and ATVs and rest are reserved for birds that are hatching eggs. I found a spot where fence had fallen.....risk worth taking I thought. Below are my attempts....all criticism and helpful pointers are cherished!

+1. That would concentrate the the perceived action a bit, not to mention improve the comp.
