With hindsight, I should have changed position slightly to avoid some of the overlaps. They are easy to see on a print, but very difficult to judge at the time. Move a faction one way and something else changes.
It should of been done, but the reality is that the sun was rising quickly and the shadow of the dunes behind me was consequently moving very quickly across the ground. Another minute or two and the foreground fallen tree would no longer have been in shade, and the magic lost. I had just moments to perceive, position, frame and take this shot.
