On the way back from California, I stopped along the Arizona/California border in the Imperial Sand Dune range. My friends and I walked the dunes for about an hour causally, and I got this photo just ten minutes after sunset, as the warmth of day left and the deep tones of the blue hour started to come into play. Hope you guys like it!

Hey Brock,

Wow.... very very cool. I sure like the color tones and the composition. The Imperial Dunes is a cool looking place that I have driven by probably too many times!

I-8 west sure is scenic between Yuma (the dunes) and the Anza Borrego Desert out west!

Thanks for commenting.

Great image and colors. My eye is caught by some areas of the sand where you may have edited? If not, I would clean it up (i.e. camera left edge in the valley between the dunes).

None the less, a great capture here!!

the noise on the left side where the dunes stretch out towards the horizon is pretty bad. lots of color noise splotchyness.

but overall a pleasing image. very cool

Ohh yeah I'll go over it again! Thanks guys. Sometimes you don't see this stuff after staring at a monitor for hours.

Seen many dune sunset kind of shots but this stands out . the lines in the sand make it.
