[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This picture was taken in the Sahara, Tassili N'Ajjer, during a mehari trek with Touareg people. The fuzzy stripe has nothing to do with the focus of the camera, it is just an illusion of fuzziness coming from the very steep curve of the dune...

Magnifique !! pour les couleurs mais surtout pour les lignes ridées sur le sable.

Hello Francois,

A stunning, clear image of this desolate, yet beautiful place. I find that deserts provide some of the most unusual and beautiful photographic opportunities. The black of the frame helps to soften the potential harshness that could have resulted. Well done.

Matt

This is a wonderful photograph. The Colours are well saturated. The sand looks great I especially like the fuzzed out streek in the middle. Nice job

Very interesting sand formations here. I love the fuzzy part in the middle, and it does look like an illusion. I had to look several times in order to see what was happening in the photo.

Great colours in this shot.

Regards

The picture plays tricks on your eyes. Beautiful photograph. I love the patterns in the sand.

Hi Francois,
This is a wonderful image of this desert environment, which although desolate, has a real natural beauty to it. The clarity and colours are superb, and the rippled sand adds a special foregound interest to the shot. That blurred patch in the sand is certainly strange. Well seen and well captured.
Cheers, Grant

Hello François
