Wow... great shot of the desert. The exposure with the colours look great. The footprints add to it as well. TFS

I'm not really sure where to start, but this is an excellent photo. It seems like the saturation is too high in the photo, but I think it actually works best in this case, emphasizing the texture in the sky, and creating the dark shadowy surface, both contrasted by the glaring sun in the middle. It's really a classic sunset photo, but I've never seen the sun quite as bright. The only thing that bothers me is that after taking a few looks, it seems like some of the detail was lost in the sand in the bottom of the photo. Regardless, it's spectacular.
