I plan on going to Anza Borrego this summer, so I'll have to check out this point. The only time I was there previously, I ended up with only about 8 hours to explore and didn't see much.
I think you've done a really good job of keeping the viewer's attention on the storm while keeping detail in the foreground. The beams of light seem to me to act as leading lines emphasizing the dust storm.
I took the image into Photoshop to look at a few of the wisps above the main cloud because they look as if they could be dust spots. They're not and I really don't have suggestions to make this photograph stronger. |

This is a very serene image. Yet, the alert expression on the ewe's face makes me think that she is watching out for the lamb, just in case a threat should appear, and I think that makes the image even more striking.
I also think you timed this image very well because it looks like the shadows would turn inky black in just a couple more minutes.
A very minor suggestion - you could clean up the grass to the right of the ewe's chest. |

I'll start by agreeing with everyone else that this is a beautiful photograph. I'll add that a couple of reasons that I enjoy it so much are the contrast in textures and the contrast in the sky created by the beams of light.
Well composed, well processed, well done! |

As a diabetic, I wake up every couple of hours on average. It's rare that I sleep even 3 hours without waking up. I don't know if that helps or hurts sleeping a few hours here and a few hours there. |

I try to nap ahead of time before I go out and then nap again after I get back and start downloading the images. It doesn't hurt that I can get by with 7 hours sleep. |

I thought the wires would be easy to remove too - not so. Trying to remove them caused some weird issues with colors in those areas, no matter what I tried (spot healing, healing, patch, clone). |

As I said, I really like the image too. |

I think your correction is a good one.
These cabins used to be part of a resort that was the only pull-out and marina in the area (and on the only paved road in the county). I suspect the painted nautical flags were a nod to the boats and a way to differentiate between rental accommodations. A former co-worker lived in one of those cabins (I think it was the middle one) back in the mid-90's, so they haven't been closed long. (The marina was gone by then and the pull-out has since been demolished.) |

It sounds like you did a lot of work on the dodging, burning, and cloning. I think it was well worth it - it's a lovely image. I couldn't help but notice two shadows (one really faint one) of the left that don't quite make sense because I don't see anything that could be casting them. |

It's easy to see why this is such a popular spot. I love this photo - composition, tonality, and overall processing. The only distraction for me is the gray cloud immediately above the pennant. In the attached version, I used content-aware fill followed by the spot healing brush to replace that part of the sky. I'd actually rather see the original color there, but couldn't quite get it to work. |
