Morning Glory

I was inspired by a shot from Ross Walker, posted on Flickr, where he captured patterns in sand. So, this was my attempt. I had to 'clean up' (literally [?] or figuratively [?]) in PS since one of the horses had left a rather noticeable deposit quite visibly in my scene. Thanks to Ross for pointing it out so I could clean up before posting it!
