Great set of photos Ross. There's a lot to like in there. The first and 3rd black and white photos really jump out at me.

Greatly appreciate your positive feedback, Brad.

Great job, esp. given the limitations. I've never made it down there for all the same reasons you give and am not sure when or if I will. I sure like many of the images I've seen from there and you have an excellent collection here, the second B&W with the distant mountains stands out for me. How many days did you visit to get these?

Thanks much for your comments Jim, I really appreciate it. Most of these were from this February where I shot three different days, and I believe a couple more were from last winter, so all told around 5 days where I start about 2pm and go until dusk ends.

Incredible shots! The way the dunes pick up colors is really amazing. Thanks for sharing!

Really appreciate that, @tloy4102. You pointed out a great thing about White Sands NP, you can get such a variety of color tones on the white sand depending on conditions and time of day/evening.

Nice work on these, Ross. I share your frustration with the challenges. I once arrived there at first light only to find it was closed for the morning due to a missile test. I especially like the b/w versions.

Thank you @psharvic. As you noted, trying to get early morning shots can be a challenge also!

Ross, I like the way you capture your images of particular area. This set displays beautiful landscape of the area. All the different views you have presented here is truly brilliant. All are great images but the one with the lone tree is my favorite. YGMV 👍🏻

Grateful for your thoughtful comments! And thanks for voting.

That's a lovely selection of images, the way the light interacts with the sands as it does with snow is something I find quite fascinating. #2 and #6 for the simplicity of light, shadow and curves really stand out for me, well captured Ross.
