===== From elias@users.sourceforge.net: I like this picture. The sandstorm looks really good. The two rocks in the foreground look a bit out of place to me. ===== From delfeld@mailcity.com: The heavy feel of the twisted rocks is nice - St. Peter's Cathedral's alter uses similar notions. The turd-piles in the background are nice, too. More contrast between areas in the image would help the composition, and I am not sure how this fits the theme. ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: This looks very nice, especially for a first entry. The various shapes are interesting, and the scene as a whole has a nice mood to it. It seems like the wind should have blown some sand onto the steps, though, and the ground in the foreground seems a bit flat. Still, very good work here. ===== From file: Looks interesting and alien. I like the detail of the hooftracks on the sand.
