Interesting, unless you mentioned it, I would have guessed sand!

As an image, the shadow in the lower left is distracting and the position of the more central elements doesn't quite work for me. Cropping a little off the bottom and about 1/3 off the top seems to help IMHO. Also, in the scanning, it would help to deepen the shadows a bit more, they seem really light and clearly the scanner is not reading anything there but noise.

Interesting texture but I'm a bit perplexed by the colour cast.

Thanks for the coments. Actually I just rechecked the slides and the shadows are slightly lighter than shown here and have a lot of textural detail missed by the scanner. The shadows are colored by side light from reflections off of nearby snow and the fact that the shot was over exposed by 1.5 stops. Film: Velvia.

Cheers
