Hey, I really like this one-- maybe the most out of all the White Sands ones you have posted. So often, when you think about White Sands, you immediately recall Brett and Edwards Pictures from there. This, however, doesn't have that typical White Sands feeling at all, and is a fresh way of seeing the place. Very Nice.
I agree on the expectation of "desert" shots... the shot is different that what I thought I'd be doing, but once on site I was drawn to the survival instincts of the desert plants. I wish I'd had more time to explore the area.
