Hmmm... there's something about this image that I find slightly disturbing, but in this case that's a good thing.

I like the rich tones of the sands and the background snowy ridge.

Well done!

For me it is strange to see the snow and the sand dunes side by side almost. Very nice photo.

It's been a long time since my last visit to the dunes.  This is one of the better shots that I have seen. Well done.  Just a couple of thoughts.  I might have nipped off the bottom bit to lose the dark clumps.  Also, the mountain and snow in the upper right corner seem a bit soft to me.

Thanks! I agree the Mamiya 210mm is not fully adequate for the IQ180 but for the price it is a bargain. The new Schneider lens 240mm'price is probably more than 10 times!
