What an extremely wonderful expression of form as well as interpretation of what is in front of you. Great play on light and shadow and movement Ross. These would make for a wonderful wall of art!
Lesson of minimalism for me to appreciate and learn from. Impressive
Yes I have a few favs but in general they all harmonize. YGMV

Karl, your thoughtful expression here is very meaningful to me, thank you!

Ross, what a set!!! Dang, I had to view them on my TV to enjoy them. Masterfully composed and PP. Absolutely brilliant set. Easy vote from my end.
You are the best, Parul, thank you so much! Look for a PM about a related topic 👍🏼
I visited there for the first time last year but seeing this series makes me want to go back. The windy conditions, and absence of the intense blue sky really added to the feeling of minimalism.
A strong set of images and well done, Ross!!

Thank you, Al! It’s an interesting place to shoot. On my first trip several years ago I was initially disappointed because White Sands does not have the tall, curvy dune peaks of places like Death Valley, but then I began to see that the white sand picking up nuanced color made it worth being there. My first time there my images were really boring, I’ve had to learn how to shoot there on subsequent trips. And getting out before the deadline of gate closing is always hugely stressful, as I’m a mile out and have made my last shot at dusk, then have to book it back to the car faster than my lungs and heart want to allow. I’ve read that folks who are late get locked in for awhile before an unhappy ranger comes back to let them out and often with a hefty fine.

I wish NPS would loosen up their rules, either via a special permit or otherwise. They do have landscape plan horizons and I think if enough from the photo community submitted comments when they start a new planning period that they'd listen.
