Dunes

Nice light one morning in Death Valley.

Beautiful, understated images. Looks like you missed the golden moments of light but the sun was low enough to offer definition.

Yes to everything Rajan mentioned. Also, I can't help but wonder if they wouldn't work as B/Ws?

Lovely lines and shapes… B&W will probably work very well here.
The light might not be golden but I still like those very much (almost monochromatic).
Well done.

#2 is my favourite.

Thanks, Rajan! I liked the shadows, but earlier would definitely have been worthwhile. Maybe next time. 38 °C.

Bob, Francois: Thanks! B&W attached. I may look into this some more.

Paulo: I like #2 as well.

And thanks to Hans for the 70-200mm recommendation. A very enjoyable morning.

All are good.  But #2 followed by #4 are my favorite.  Others, the distant range at the top distracts from the dune forms.  This is always a problem, I find - what to do with the space above the dunes.

:Niranjan.

Thanks, Niranjan. While the distant mountains can be distracting, they provide some context for me.

Nice images and good seeing! I agree they seem to be good candidates for B&W.

Death Valley is a great place to photograph, and these are fine specimens!
