Re: PESO - Storm over the Great Sand Dunes
Thanks to all for the comments - much appreciated. It seems there is no strong preference for either #1 or #2, which pretty much reflects my own view. I'll just have to include both in the photo book I'm putting together of the trip :-) A few specific responses: Quoting Rick Womer rwomer1...@yahoo.com: Both are very nice; the second is the more dramatic image. I have two ideas that might bring them closer to what you remember: First, was it late in the day? nbsp;Warming up the color temp a bit might help. Second, the foreground in the second shot is a silhouette, and bringing it into the visible range would add interest and depth. It was actually late morning. I'll have a look at warming them up slightly. The foreground in No.2 is a problem. I bracketed the exposures but not enough on the + side. I spent a lot of time trying to extract some detail from the foliage but the result was very murky and, to my eye, distracting. This is why I went for the silhouette. Together with the dark clouds above, it forms an irregular frame around the dunes. Quoting Alan C c...@lantic.net: Great shots. The 2nd really shows the power of nature. And I suppose there was lightening thunder too? No - not that I remember. Quite a bit of snow, though. The next day the tops of the dunes were snow-capped. Quoting Bob Sullivan rf.sulli...@gmail.com: Wonderful photos. You put us who live in the USA to shame with such great shots in only a limited visit. I think visitors often see more of a country than those who live there, even if it only involves sampling the country. It's only in the last few years that I've been to Western Australia, north Queensland, the Centre and Tasmania.

Re: PESO - Storm over the Great Sand Dunes
It's hard to choose really. The first shows the dunes very well second has great perspective on their location. I think I like the second just a tiny bit better (50.25% #2 vs 49.75% #1 adding up to 100% for the pair). The thing #2 has going for it is the frame of looming clouds overhead become the foreground. You don't often see clouds as the foreground. On 8/17/2013 8:51 AM, Brian Walters wrote: Back in May we visited the Great Sand Dunes National Park near Alamosa, Colorado.

Re: PESO - Storm over the Great Sand Dunes
Both spectacular, but the second does it for me. The mountains add so much. Just an amazing photo!
