Looks nice, Josh, but still too small for a decent assessment. 1200 on a side? Please?

I like it; my only complaint would be that the top left corner is maybe a bit too dark.  The colours and textures in the sand are great, though.

My eye jumps straight to the middle right.  Wasn't even aware there was a clearing store the first time I looked at it.

I think it's beautiful.  The sky in the upper left may seem dark at this small size, but I bet it's just fine when printed LARGE.

I suppose one can lighten or darken anything, but most natural scenes have to be taken as they are and your only option is a split filter. My guess is exposing for the light on the sand may have underexposed the clouds a bit, but then maybe not. Only Josh knows for sure. No matter, I like it. The understated ripples in the sand take the eye up to the peaks and through the clouds, where the interspersed blue is a nice counterpoint colour to the red sand.

I'm happy with it just the way it is.
