About Back to the sand dunes in Pacific City outside the popular restaurant where I am working now :)) Last night was my first night ! These 3 are just begining their journey to climb this dune .....

Camera Information
1/1000s
f/9.0

I am asking Everyone to Take a time out to Pray & or send Positive Energy to help our sweet SRNA STANKOVIC TO GET WELL & RETURN TO US AS HER LIFE IS IN CRISIS RIGHT NOW & SHE IS IN TH HOSPITAL AT 10AM EST. ALL WEEK LONG IF POSSIBLE.
I am believing that if even one day we 'ALL ' who know & Care for her can do this unitedly just as much as possible it can make a difference . I realize today is a bit too late for most so Please consider the rest of the week-
( I could not get on UF - I lost it around 12:30 am last night.
Thank YOU All .........

This is really nice Michele!! i love the composition
and the colors are as always stunning. My camera wont capture color that good! They say canon shots less saturated than Nikon. When I try to boost up my colors at all I get lots of grain! Oh well! Your camera shoots really wonderful landscapes! I want to upgrade but Im sure Ill have to stick with canon as I cant afford new len's! Ill be lucky if I can even get a new camera. I did have a good week.....I did two paid jobs for over 400 dallars
so who knows....:)
Great shot again! Thanks for sharing.....

Love

Paul

Hi Michele, the composition of this photo really emphaSIZEs the size and slope of the dune. It is also effective for showing that they are at the outset of their journey. I'm thinking it may have been even better to include their feet. (I just had to find something to be picky about!)

Dave Arnold Dave Arnold   {K:55680} 7/24/2007
This angle sure does show the magnitude of the dune, more so that any of your previous shots, I think. I had no idea they were this steep and high. Is this a night shot?

Good shot, Ms. Carlsen...

Best wishes,
Dave (Capt. Midnight, if you don't know me by that name anymore)

Near perfect shot Michele.. I think if you had included the full figures of the people climbing, it would be a perfect composition..

A very good picture, indeed !!
