not so keen on 1 or 3 the shadow is a little annoying but 2 is superb & the shadows help define the dunes & give texture & form.
Cheers for sharing.

Yes - #2 is the standout. I agree about the shadows in #1 but ye-gods what scenery!
Really enjoying the gradual unveiling of photos from your trip. Green eyed monster ahoy

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Wow! Whilst number 2 does indeed stand out I really like numbers 1 and 4. For me the contrast between the shadowed area and the mid section of the photo in number 1 works.

No. 2 is my pick, the sun and shade work really well. However, while I am not keen on the large shadow in the foreground of no. 1, I think this image has a lot of potential. I hope you don't mind but I fiddled with it, cropping it, adjusting levels and curves, and dodging and burning the tracks slightly.

This is a magical place. Alien' has done a great job in improving #1 as a panoramic.

I agree with Cabstar & Alien Grove. First thought on seeing #1 was - make a great pano - and that's exactly what AG has done !
#2 is superb.

The large dune looks exactly how I saw it 15 years ago. My pick is the second for the composition, although I think it could do with a little boost somehow. I really like the colours and the sky in 4.
