Very cool. Love your set-up. Might have wanted the arm to be a bit more vertical to olook like the man was suspended from it more, but I love the shot

goood idea , nice work.

Contest states:"Goal:Enter your best shots of anything to do with sand. Sand sculptures, being buried in sand, macros of the grains, as long as the shots are of sand in its natural habitat." Says nothing about having to be a 'landscape' ? The idea here was to capture the texture of the sand, which, I hope I did...

Apologies, I was a little too quick. Have deleted my comment, didn't know the new contests was up and thought it was an entry in the black/white landscape contest.

you did a good job on the photo. im just not sure if it meets the guide lines

Not sure if it fits the theme evilgnome? First, according to the site rules: 3.7: Don't comment on 'administrative' issues of the entry (such as being off-topic for example), but raise a red flag instead....

But, since you brought it up, WHY do you believe a shot of sand does not fit the theme of "sand"? I am curious now...

Um - looks like sand to me
