The light and shadow contrast on this photo are incredible. And I especially like that you managed to get the texture of the sand on the bottom of this photo. Really, a wonderful picture!

hello Eino,
you make me regret to have skipped the desert tour in Morocco =)
that woman with the camera might have been me, walking in the dunes...
beautiful colours and great perspective, flattening the horizons into (almost) one textured level...

Hello Eino,
perfect composition of the dunes with wonderful light and great mood. I like the play of shadow and light on the dunes and the woman gives an element of life to the barren landscape. Thanks for sharing this marvellous shot.
Best wishes,
Helmut

Hi Eino,
Beautiful view over the dunes with very nice mixture of various sand colors (sunny and shade) and the little pieces of green here and there.
Well composed with the photographer walking up the dune.
Well done,
Harko

Ciao Eino,
una splendida realizzazione in cui hai saputo coniugare la bellezza del posto alla cattura del momento in cui passa la donna. Una luce speciale e colori da favola rendono la tua foto superba!
Un caro abbraccio.

Hi Eino,
This is a capture of what must have been a very special moment. To be in the presence of this expanse of sand presented in shapes defined by nature must have been breathtaking. It was also a perfect idea to include the fine lady as she enjoys the stroll in the sand. Photographically, it is a perfect play of light and shadows in living color TFS. Gerald

Hello Eino,

I really like the PoV which enhances the contours and the shape of the dunes. The colors are quite attractive too.

Thanks for sharing

Bonjour Eino.
Quelle grâce !
J'aime beaucoup la fragilité et la légèreté de la fille qui avance dans ce décor somptueux.
Du grand art !
Amical salut !

Hello Eino,
I have somewhat mixed feeling when observing this photo. The girl with a camera and in clothes inappropriate to the desert looks like a celebrity put on a desperate point of the world only to increase the contrast between her beauty and the poor environment.
But on the other hand, in this case the environment is beautiful taken probably in the best possible moment and the girl is obviously not a nasty celeb but a tourist searching for the optimal POV - exactly like we all do it. May be even her presence makes the photo unique in the long series of desert pictures. (And I must admit she looks much better than myself.)
Congratulations!
Laszlo

Hi Eino,

Muy buena imagen, un impresionante juego de luces y sombras, esta imagen tiene muchos elementos muy buenos, la dimensión entre las dunas, la profundidad, y la presencia de la persona un perfecto retrato y color cálido muy bonito!
Buen trabajo!

Saludos,
Elena

The soft lines and warm colors of the desert are excelent on this shot. The inclusion of the humen presence give is a good idea of cale and the way you include it at the composition is not disturbing.
Best regards

Hi Eino.
This is just incredible! The desert looks big, and the person is small in it. Beautiful colours and details visible. The sand dunes are filling the picture, and you have used the rule of thirds perfect on the only subject. Superb DOF as well. The light makes the sand dunes look like a chocolate sea!

Regards, Fredrik.
