Nice. I also think it could be just as nice in B&W

I would add my voice to the choir here - B&W for me.

Nice pattern!
It's great in colour with the exception of that green on the coast that slightly disrupts the beige - grey/blue harmony. That's why it would benefit from B&W.

I like the colours, and the way the rhythms are repeated between sand and sky.

The motion of the tumultuous clouds moving toward us somewhat replicates the motion created by the ripples of sand, but in a much more dramatic and random way - well seen and captured!

I'm digging it sir. My only gripe would be that you didn't focus stack it. (Take a foreground shot, an infinity shot and blend) I think that would have added some clarity to the foreground that would have been minimal to notice but still just a nice little edge.

Thank's for the comment.
Focus stacking wasn't an option as it was a handheld shot with me crouching down looking at the screen (flip out screen). The lens I used was a Voigtlander 12mm, manual focus lens, ultra wide and generally with f11 and setting the focus to about 0.5 metre the depth of focus is such that everything is usually in focus so focus stacking was even considered at the shoot.

I like the vastness and the patterns. But I find the foreground a bit dull. Perhaps a bit more contrast to it?

A B&W version should probably improve this shot.

Very nice - would think about pulling up shadows in fg a bit plus some clarity/contrast

For me, the B/W version is way better. Beautiful capture.
