[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Climbing of a red dunes in the Sossussvlei park in the middle of the Namib desert.
There is a road following a river usually dry which allows to enter in 60km in the big Erg of the Namib desert. When the river disappear in the desert, the road stops and you can make small walk all around and so climb some dunes.
This day there was many wind, what can be visible on the photo with the sand particles blowed in the air.

Hi Yves

Great Capture! Nice Composition with the walkers along the ridge!
and yes you can see the sand being blown by the wind! Well Done!

hi Yves, excelent shot with goodcomposition and motive.

Hello,
a very good view of the dune, the right-hand side with the small patches of grass is in a great contrast with the left side that is smoothed by the wind. However, maybe the people are just a bit too close to the viewer/photographer and so the size of the dune seems a bit diminished. Other than that, a very good photo.

Best regards Kristof

Hi Yves!
Great shot! I really like this, the way you included the small vegetation on the right and the people walkingon the dune. Fantastic light!

Salut Yves,
Une bien belle arête même si il ne s'agit pas de neige ;-)
Superbe graphisme et une formidable impression de solitude.
SUperbe.
Bonne soirée.

Hello Yves,
What a beautiful curve that you captured on this huge sanddune. You also have an excellent diagonal going up the frame. This is very good composition and the strong sidelighting and the silhouetted figures add drama and a great sense of scale. A beautiful and exciting travel photograph!
