Beautiful shot but I am kind of curious about what looks like the white silhouette of a mountain range on the horizon. Some kind of masking error?

Good question, @AlanLichty. I was bothered by the same thing. Mountain range. 2-image HDR. Didnt do any masking. Here is one of the HDR images I used. I used LR's HDR function. Maybe, I should just mask the mountains and darken it. Will try that later today.

Those are some stunning conditions. Yeah, the mountains turning while isn't great, but this is worth the effort to get it right

Great light for this image. The play of light and shadows on the dunes is stunning.

I think this image by itself is workable without the blend/HDR.

Hey Murali, I hope you work on this some more. What's here is really stunning, just need to make sure that the last mountain range gets included in with the ground layer. I don't use LR so I don't know about masking there, but in Photoshop, this would be super easy to mask as there is a very sharp contrast between the ground and sky.
