Lovely - makes me want to visit Australia again.
Have you considered taking a slice off the top to reduce the flare of the sun & so it focusses more on the sand? But works as is....

Beautiful. The only thing that bothers me is the suggestion of a crooked horizon. Otherwise superb.

Tony, You did it again. Great photo with beautiful details in the sand. As Cate points out, cutting of the horizon works well too.

Terrific sense of space here - scale is almost irrelevent. I'd like to see a bit more of the sun, though (although that might have given more problems with flare. Beatiful!

Very beautiful photograph. The textures of the sand and shadows look so soft and delicate. Have you considered cropping just a 5th or so of the RH side with the large smooth area of sand? It seems to throw off the movement in the frame a bit. Wonderful stuff- thanks for sharing.

All the best,
Daniel

Tony, What a wonderful sense of light...I agree with the horizon comment made earlier.

Thanks everyone, yes the flare at the top is problematic, there is actually more in the original shot. I have tried cropping of the top but felt that it lost something without the black area.
Daniel, you may have something with the RH crop, I will give that a go. The horizon isn't actually crooked, stuffed up in the scanning somehow!
