Beautiful Yves. The graphics of sand layers with judicious blending of colours and a lone camel standing afar is wonderfully composed shot of sunset at desert. Enjoyed. Regards.

Salut Yves,
J'aime beaucoup cette silhouette qui se découpe dans le ciel et cette mer de sable avec ses petites vagues.
Amitiés

Bonjour Yves
Voilà un tableau qui accoche le regard... Les vaguelettes de sable sont splendides, et en plus, le dromadaire est placé suivant la regle des 1/3 !
On pourrait croire que le dromadaire a été rajouté en postprocessing, d'autant qu'il n'y a pas une trace de pas visible entre le photographe et lui !
Amicalement
Georges

Salut Yves,
Magnifique dessins laissé par le vent sur le sable! La présence du dromadaire est forcément un plus même si seul l'avant plan aurait fait une belle photo.
Bonne journée.
Igor

Hello Yves,
this is a stunning picture!! I like the pattern of the sand leading the eye through the compo until it reach the lonely camel perfectly placed in the frame. The different tones in the sky have created a special feeling well contrasted by the warm orange tone of the sand.
A truly outstanding result!!
Thanks for sharing it and all the best wishes for a great 2008

Igor

Hello Yves,
Wow! What a fantastic shot. The low angle of the Sun made some some amazing ripples on the sand. The placement of the camel is perfect. Your series is fabulous!

Hello Yves,
a very desert picture !
I like the patterns on the sand which klead to infinity, enhanced by the sunset light.
Then the camel is of course just perfect.

Hi Sevy,

excellent POV strarting from the sand patterns going to the camel.
excellent light as well.

I am longing for coming back to the desert.
my first and only experience was the moroccan erg chebbi....and I think desert took a part of my heart away!
ciao

Hello Yves,
Amazing pattern of the sand glowing in the sunset, indeed. Rich gradation of the sky between orange and blue is also really beautiful.
I'd like also to see a take that camel is looking at the evening sun.
Have a nice day, Hisashi
