I'm keeping on posting some images of my last desert trip as the new one is on its way so soon... Sahara I'm coming!

Hola Luca,
preciosa imagen, tiene un color extraordinario!!! el enfoque al igual que la tonalidad son buenos.
saludos José

There is no any bush seen here:) but what is well visible I adore as sensual, warm, intrguing in its sophisticated shapes. Well done!
with regards, Agnieszka

I don't have a better comment to make other than stand up and take my hat off for you. Excellent capture, Luca. Very sexy presentation... it leave the rest to the imagination.

Luca, the light, forms and textures you captured here are just beautiful. The colour intrigues me, is it realy that saturated?

Hi Luca,
at first, it's a very successful composition. Great mix of colored shades and lines. The frame and the picture do match very well. The upper red corner I personally find a bit to outshone, but it doesn't matter. Very nice.

Hi luca,

very grapfic indeed. I like the layers of dunes and wavy details.
I wonder if the small dark object on upper right should be cloned out. I also wonder if the image would have more impact if there was a center of attention, like an interesting foreground object.

Hi Luca,
This is so simple, but so beautiful. The light is magic and makes beautiful layers over the dunes. You have a good eye in seeing these things, but an ever better control over the light...wonderful..!!!

HI Luca,
Wonderful sensual sand dune composition.
Wonderful warm orange tones, textures, curves, light and shadows.
This sand dune is like a body, like the skin.

Hi, Luca. You've captured fantastic shapes here. I lkie these huge waves created by the sand. The tewxture is very well rendered and the play of light and shades gives an excellent depth to your image.

Hi luca

Hi Luca,

The detail and texture of this shot is amazing, I love it :) A genuine abstract. Well done.

bellissima, una luce incantevole, e soprattutto un titolo dolcissimo con una nota perfetta. Che altro dire? forse che non mi piace la cornice? ;)

Hi Luca, a masterpiece with sand and curves... the color variations are beautiful! cheers!

I like very much
