The low sun warms the white sand and helps to reduce the blue cast in the distant mountains.

Very nice, good color and texture, the sky looks really noisy and the sharpness looks a bit strange?

Nice contrasts in the foreground emphasis it from the softer contrasts in the background. You could selectively denoise the sky.

Love it...with one exception, that being the noisy sky.

Beautiful warm colors and texture. I like the contrast of the soft sand hills and the rugged mountains...very nicely composed.

The sky was a mess. I went back to the image and found the problem,too much structure. I resolved the issue and the sky is perfect. I am always reminded that a little posy processing can go a long way. Thanks for the objective critique .

Beautiful Death Valley shot. If making a Fine Art print of this, I think subtly messing a bit with the colors of the mountains to get a more different look between them and the dunes would make for a really cool print
