Wow...this is a magnificent capture, Patricia. A favorite! #1363038Patricia A. Casey March 22, 2011
Thank you, Michelle.....hard to get sand without prints, even though we were there before sunrise..oh well...it was fun. It does make you wonder where did all those people go! None were in sight for the longest time....Have a wonderful evening....Patricia #9309717Kirsten Kiki Kjaer March 25, 2011
Magnificent indeed, Patricia. We were there in the Summer. I couldn't even get out of the car because of the heat. This beautiful image makes me want to go back.Patricia A. Casey March 25, 2011
Hi Kristen....Thanks for viewing and the compliment. Yes indeed it is a hot place...the best time to go is October/November through March/Arpil....May also might be o.k.....after than...even being an "adopted" Arizonan...I don't think I can stand that heat that long....Have a wonderful evening! Cheers.... #9317448Tammy Espino March 26, 2011
Fantastic capture!! Have been there but not to the dunes!! :) #9318740Patricia A. Casey March 26, 2011
Thanks, Tammy....last year we didn't go to the dunes either. This year it was sort of a "mission" to get there early....Thanks for the comment! Cheers... #9318858Dee Langevin March 29, 2011
Wonderful shapes and textures in this beautiful image Patricia! Love your title too! #9324870Patricia A. Casey March 30, 2011
Hi Dee....Thank you for looking and commenting....I wonder where everyone goes to get those "perfect" sand dune shots without any footprints....a mystery.....could it be they go to Photoshop???? ;0) I'm sure there are times you can capture it, but going over and over again is the key....just one day and you either get lucky or you get a funny title....have a wonderful day! #9325290Mary Beth Aiello April 27, 2011

Hi Dee, Thank you so much! I can access the internet, but am still working on getting the printer & CS4 back on line....it's a job, but someone has to do it! =^..^= have a great day! #9377031Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
