Wow! This is so cool Jens. I love the softness of this and the complementing soft light. Well captured!

A very nice selection of this dune complex. The curving line seems continuous,which really adds to the flow of the eye.You were blessed with good light and little if any haze in the distance-something that has plagued me in the past.

Actually, there was quite a lot of haze. But when the sun is low it can become an asset. I used it here to add a touch of "from-another-planet" to the scene.

Beautiful flowing lines and soft colors. Very nice contrast with the mountains.
