 Huntington Beach, California dune barrier fence. Shot on a very windy day, which caused any and all footprints to be "erased" quickly, leaving nothing but nice patterns of ridges in the sand.

Tweaked in Adobe Camera RAW. Fine-tuned for DPC in PS. I'm not sure how my dodging, burning, and vignetting will be received by the voters, but what-the-heck? :-)

Post-challenge comment:

THANKS EVERYONE! This is now my personal 2nd best score! I tried something that I don't normally do and it appears to be well-received (b&w, vignetting, dodging and burning). Sweet!

Congrats on your high finish les. I crashed of course,
because DNMC. Due to little cultural difference here, we call soft and hard barriers fences. Such as concrete fence.

No excuse, but just the way we speak. Still coming 4 u (grinning :))

I love this shot. The mono chromatic and the use of the third rule works beautifully here. 10.

excellent shadow play. if the top part were cropped (where shadow ends), this could be a nice abstract. 8 from me :)
