sands hands part deux
Here it is after a billion hours of cloning and redoing the BW like Matt suggested. I like it, it gave me a lot more detail over the sky, where adj layers was more finnicky.

Re: sands hands part deux
Well it was certainly worth the effort Dooda. Nicely done. Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
Dooda,
I shake your hand, but I would still remove all those signs in the background, go get a few strong coffee's and get to work 
I would like to see this images with only the sand around it. Cheers, Mic.

Awesome effort and definitely worth it. But mic is right. Go the extra mile and ditch the signs to take it from great to magnificent. Then go print it and frame it. This is one hell of a keeper. Peter

If I may make a suggestion, If you live near by, drive out there, go the the general spot you took the photo, and try to combine the two, one being an empty desert (hopefully they cleaned up by now) and the other the sand figure. It may be a litte tough to match the colors, but photoshop CS2 has a color matching tool Image>Adjustments>Match Color.
if you can't go back there...good luck keeping your sanity!
Wow! Awesome effort, and a big improvement over the original, but I tend to agree, if you can go the extra mile I think the end result will be well worth it. (I'd definitely hang it, if it was mine).
Thanks for the comments everyone. I have no idea how I could possibly clone out those signs and match the horizon and sand and mountains. I also can't go back (soon) it's a 1 1/2 hour ferry ride away on Vancouver Island. Plus I suck at merging images, have no idea how to do it. Ah well, Wish I had taken it at a better angle, but I was just sort of snapping and my ride was leaving.
A fellow on flickr could tell that I had done all the cloning, there are some sharp eyes out there.
