Mesquite Flat

[Doug P]

The dunes of Mesquite Flat in Death Valley always command my attention. Especially at sunrise.

Very nice, Doug. The wind over the far dunes is a nice touch.

Nice composition and light. The foreground looks soft to me. This one could have used a focus stack?

Yeah it could have used it. It is a bit soft for my taste as well...

Hey Doug,

It’s been typo week for me! I read the title from the forum list as Mesquito Flats probably because I was up at Mesquito Flats up in the Eastern Sierra shooting last Sunday. So when I scrolled to look at your photo I had to blink a few times and actually said to myself, this isn’t Mesquito Flats, it looks like Death Valley. Then I read what you had written and the lightbulb went off that it was Mesquite Flats not Mesquito Flats...

With that said, I like what you did here. I like your foreground objects and how they help lead into the shot.

Very nice composition with some nice light for these dunes. The softness of this image adds an interesting mood to the scene - almost a bit on the dreamy side.

A sweet composition, Doug.
