Surreal dune tableau

Control the visual scale: Pair a solitary subject with vast negative space (the wide empty sand areas around your item) to create tension. Position the horizon line in the lower third to give the sky dramatic weight.

Simplify the light: Soft overcast lighting keeps sand ripple textures visible without harsh, distracting shadows. Stick to two quiet tones—like pale sky blue and warm ochre sand—to keep the frame uncluttered.
