Climbing the Dune 45. The desert’s most popular feature, also the most accessible, is known as Dune 45. Dune 45 reaches more than 170 meters, and is named after the distance in kilometers from Sesriem Canyon.

Not satisfied with the previous post I decided to re-post it. What have I modified?:
- the size
- desaturated the sky a bit
- added a frame

Questa versione č ancora piů bella della precedente!
Bellissimi colori, belle le orme dei passi con le loro ombre, fantastica l'ambientazione data dallo sfondo. Le figurine sono sufficientemente piccole da essere irriconoscibili ma io immagino siano tua moglie e tua figlia.

Ciao!!

Great clean lines, and smooth surfaces which draw the eye easily around the frame. The footsteps in the sand and the people on the dune give this some human interest and help us to imagine that we are there. Excellent!

Hi Attila:
Your photo makes me asking myself if I still have enough time to visit such a beautiful place on earth before becoming disable?
Since my doctors demand me to make frequent visits to their offices and I couldn't be away from town, I am saving your capture in mind and heart. When I am ready, I will come back to ask for your advice and tips on how to trek this destination.

Hi Attila,

The sand colours of the dune are wonderful, also the steps in it sand gives a good depth, I like the contrast between the sand colour of the dunes and the blue sky. very well done!
Thanks for sharing.

Have a nice week,
John.

- Beautiful new version for this amazing dune, I like the PoV and the warm color for the sand well done!
giorgio

Hi Attila,
what so impressive image. The beauty of this dune is extraordinary, and you have caught it in a perfect composition.
The light and the shades that the edge of the dune creates, with the footsteps of people, it forms a scene with great graphism and excellent and warm colors.
The edge remembers that takes to the summit of the Mont Blanc, but instead of snow, here it is sand.
Superb shot.

Szia Attila!
Hű, micsoda hangulata van ennek a képnek! A fotód láttán ismét eszembe jutott, hogy akármit építünk mi emberek, mégiscsak a természet a legnagyobb és a legcsodálatosabb képzőművész a világon! Nagyon jó ötlet volt a képbe komponálni a távolban látható szerencsés utazókat, gyönyörűen kiemelik a környezet méreteit, és erőteljesen támogatják a kép atmoszféráját is. A távolba vezető lábnyomok szintén kitűnőek, szinte hívogatnak egy kis sétára a dombtetőre, ahonnan fantasztikus kilátás nyílik a messzeségbe. És a színek! Nos, a színek káprázatosak! Az hiszem (így szoktam érezni), az ilyenfajta pillanatok és élmények döbbentik rá az embert létezésének nagyszerűségére!
Hasonló szép emlékeket és képeket Kívánok!
Gyuri

Hi Attila,
This is a good shot, I like texture of the footprints in the sand and your composition is great. The people give a nice sense of scale, and of course the colours are wonderfull.
Can you believe I live next door to Namibia but I have never visited there, I think I must definately.

This is well cool. The light and shadows are marvellous and then the deep saturated colours are stunning. The addition of the tiny people add scale and they are the icing on the cake. A superb piece of work. Very well done.

Hi Attila
This is a stunning shot. The pattern of footsteps in the sand is great too, as it disturbs the perfect forms and shapes of the sand dunes. The colour is wonderful and warm and the pov spectacular. Very well achieved.

Great shot: the coloura are very warm and enhanced by a perfect light. The lines formed by the sandy slope are excellent, leading us into the picture.

simply wonderful. great colours, good handling of light and nice framing to give a perspective view. tfs.

Come al solito immagini eccellenti da te, per me che non ci sono mai stato č un posto da capogiro con tutti questi colori cosi saturi e forti, a parte questo i miei complimenti, hai fatto una foto non minimalista in un posto che te le strappa naturalmente, oltre alla duna mi piace molto anche il paesaggio a sinistra, molto bello, complimenti.

Breathtaking colours and shapes, Attila. The composition is almost geometric, lots of overlapping triangles. There is terrific perspective thanks to the wellworn trackup the dunes, and the inclusion of the figures reveals the huge scale.

Olá Attila, this is quite an increadible capture of a dune. Desert landscapes attract me very much and unfortunately, I have never visit a real one. The strong perspective, the astonishing colors, the sight of the landscape at left and the way this one dominates the image, I love everything here! The inclusion of the couple up there is, of course, a good option. Impressive improvements from the original, as well. Tfs,
