Directly added to my favorites. Shot is really fantastic. Very hard to accept nature is able to give us such a beautifull view, is there any effect for the Background? !!!! Well well done, surely want some more.

Amazing colours - quite surreal in its intensity. Like a Dali landscape (but without the melting clocks etc).

wow, are these colours real?? almost unbeleavable and the water is almost not recognisable as such if there were not the reflections ... just great!!

Amazing colours and composition. It's interesting to have the contrast of the sand in the middle of the shot to break up the red sand. Very nice capture.

Don, this is fabulous. Great curves and colour. I have seen a lot of pictures of the Namib Desert but this is the first where the dunes are reflected in the river. It's an exceptional shot.

Wow man, all of your photos are fricking amazing, you're gonna be entered as one of my fav photographers!!!

Bout this one in particular, amazing colours, good composition, good shades. How long did you wait for the sun to settle like this or were you just lucky to be there at the right moment. When looking at your other photos, I assume you waited for the very light.

Decent is far from the correct word to describe the work you did.

Appart from the grain easily spotted in the shadow areas (don't know if the image is scanned as some others you posted) it is really great.

This is an a-ma-zing shot! Are you sure you didn't use photoshop? ;-)

This is very very beautiful and I'll also add it to my favourites. Have to say, perhaps I should consider going back to Africa...

Good one! Dennis

An excellent capture of shape, color and light. And an unusual perspective on the Namib! (Lucky, too, since it almost never rains there.)

I think this photo belongs to TrekMars, not TrekEarth! Astonishing red and wonderful reflection! How come there's water on Mars?
