My wife took this one of me launching off a sand dune at the White Sands in southern New Mexcio. I am not quite sharp in the picture, but who cares it was fun. ISO 100, 1/800, F6.3

I love the "vapor trail" effect from your speedy lift-off.

Fun capture.....

This is a great shot man.

When you say you were "not quite sharp", you meant photographically, right?! :-)

Any lack of sharpness isn't really noticed as the composition and content wins you over!

Cool pic! Nice job by you and your wife!

Neat picture and great capture. That is one of the best national parks in the US to photograph sunset and sunrise.

lack of sharpness not really noticed at all (as a matter of fact for this type of shot your pretty sharp IMHO)
great composition and +1 on the cool sand vapour trails

Thank you for the kind comments. In the original most of the sand is sharp and I was a little soft looking, but I sharpened in PS and sharpened again with the resize to get the results you see.

Love the sand trail from your sandals. Great shot and I love the fun factor of it.
