Sossusvlei - the Namib desert's pearl for tourists.
Early in the morning there are numerous tracks on the sand as a huge herd of antelopes has passed this place.
Probably, there was no wind at night and maybe a night before too, and the tracks from previous days have stayed adding to new ones. Still..
And a poor dune at sunrise starts its working day: as a horse in the carousel, it has to carry tourists till sunset when the park closes.

Hi Olga,

Hi Olga, funny note, i like how you wrote it, for sure that place is a pearl for tourists. I've seen a lot of picture from namib desert and it's really photogenic and for sure strong memories !
Technically your picture is perfect, contrasts and coloring are on top, saturation level is good, sharpness very nice, yes i do love that one, i would have perahps liked to see "something human" in the compo.
Congratulations

Hi, Olga -

An excellent capture of the Sossusvlei dunes - and a cute note, too! Beautiful shapes and shadows, nice and crisp, great light management.

Regards,
Dan

Hi Olga,

Amazing display of shapes and light. Very well composed shot. Very neat with strong colors and lovel perspective. I wish I was there to have a look at it, but your picture makes the job easier for me.

The two figures on the top of the dune make this a very intriguing picture, Olga. I was wondering where that title came from. Good work!

Hi Olga,
this one is well done. I like the composition POV showing interesting shape of this sand dune. people on top of it help you realize how big it actually is. TFS

the shapes of this landscape and its colors are perfect. compo, Light and pov too are fantastic. Congratulations. I was thinking about to know Namibia in the next years. Did you take a tour inside one of that special trucks ? I read about them but I am not sure if it would be nice.
