Shadows need work...stuff is floating...seagulls & shells in a desert?

Also seaguls are flying too close to her.

love the colors and mood, but agree that shells girl and helmets appear to be floating. Try to make them interract with the sand, think when you sit on the beach or a sand dune, you sink into the sand a bit, it should overlap on the objects. I like the surreal quality to the gulls and shells with the vast dunes. Good luck! (here's an example of how sand interracts with the weight of a person: http://www.jiunlimited.com/en/search/close-up?eqvc=2207156&oid=6298765&a=a&pt=&k_mode=any&k_exc=&cid=&date=&ct_search=&f_c=1&f_b=1&f_h=1&f_v=1&f_n=1&f_i=&f_o=&f_l=&big=1&k_var=sand&bl=%2Fen%2Fsearch%2Find
