I took these at Dubai close to the Oman border. Enjoy!

Super shots. Like them all but especially 1 & 3

[Yisehaq]

Very nice set my fav is #1!

[Hillbillygirl]

Beautiful patterning here in all, but I also have to vote for #1. Very smooth flowing lines are just so pleasing to the eye.

[Bambi]

I really like them all but I quite like 2 and 3. I like 2 for how the eye is lead across the sands. And 3 has a perfect dof for me.

[Realist]

Great texture and shadow here!

[Marko]

Lovely variety - Nicely done.

[QuietOne]

I like 1, and though I like the ridge and dof on 3, I wish the ridge was just a little higher.

1,3,and 4 while good pics,are "sand". Pic 2 says "desert",which conveys more of a story to me. I love pic 2.

Very nice series. Another vote for #1. Then again, crop #4 a bit to eliminate the dark part on the top right, and you have another extremely nice abstract....

I really like #1 for the patterns and the contrast that really brings out the patterns. I also like number 4 and agree with cropping out the dark part on the top right. I also might consider cropping the little little corner at the top left.

Love the layers in image #2. This is my favourite in the set, but I'd like shot #4 equally with the suggested crops. Also enjoy the warm colour of the sand in these pics.

Thanks everybody for the great comments.

Well done! 1 & 2 for me.
