Dune Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Today something a bit different. This one was taken on the early hours of the day, when the sun was rising. I was really disappointed because it was very cloudy, horrible to take pictures. When I was almost giving up, there was a bit of sun light and it created this strange photo. I like it, I hope you do too :)

Another wonderful shot Mauricio.
excellent colors, with all the red tones in the dune and a great grey sky with a stong contrast.
excellent also the composition.
thanks, ciao

great shot! the sand look so perfect untouched, im not sure if i like the burst of sunlight, looks over exposed, but i do like the effect! i think it would be much better on a nice blue day with a few clouds for interest! :)

Mauricio,
Simple yet very powerful photo. Very good contrast. I loved the sand to sky ratio.

Mauricio, absolutely wonderful composition, colours. So beautifully abstract and has guts.

Hi Mauricio,

I like it a lot !! Calm and peaceful, as the morning always is. Simple and gracious composition with those curves, and nice contrast between sand and sky. I like also this smooth curve and change of tone in the lowest part.

All this makes a really nice picture, but I think it could be a bit better if the sand details were more visible. But with this special light, I'm not sure if it was possible to achieve.

Anyways, very well done Mauricio !
Cheers,
Youssef.

Hi Mauricio. This is truly fantastic. Wonderful graphism here. The flat colors of the dune and its curve make this a striking shot. Excellent composition/crop. You have some interesting posts in your gallery already. Waiting to see more form you.

Fantastic in its simplicity. Composition is spot on. The colors are very soft, you really got nice light.

Hi, Mauricious

the lack of light allowed you to come up with a cool compo, where the simple curve of the dune comes in voluptuous contrast to the expanse of sand below. I even think that the batch of light is not so important, and I am sure that the original shows enough texture to the sky and desert sand, so as not making the shot too abstract.

Mais uma foto magnifica.
Já deu uma olhada no tema TE BOOK 2005?
Eu acho que algumas das suas fotos ficariam muito bem no livro que estão a criar.

Effective, graphic presentation in the monochrome colour setting. Artistic and creative shooting M.

Hi Mauricio.
Je trouve la simplicité de cette image....parfaite !
J'adore ce que tu en as sorti. Cette grande place laissée à cette dune, cette courbe sur le dessus et cette petite partie de soleil dans le ciel gris....un régal !
Joli
