[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Namib desert is the oldest – some say 70 million years
Is the result of the meeting of cold stream from Antarctica (the Bonguale stream) with the African continent.
The characteristic is pure colored send, piled up to create up to 300 meters of nothing but send
Climbing those hills is like the Tango: 1 meter up & 2 meters down

Stunning colours and great composition; also the bare trees work a lot in your picture

Great! Looks like a surrealistic painting ...

superbe photo aux couleurs splendides, y a t'il des arbres sur la lune ?? je viens de l'apprendre, tu aurais pu cadré un peu plus bas pour donné un aspect plus panoramique, cependant ce n'est que mon avis ...bon travail

Hello Yuval: Beautiful composition with fantastic colors. The color of the sky is very beautiful, I like its contrast with the branches of the tree, the color of the hills is never before for my something seen, neither imagined. This image seems work of a painting one and I also find a landscape of another planet, although there is a special and very interesting detail that I appreciate but I don't know well that it is: is a nest what there are in the branches of the tree of the left?. I will add to my favorite ones your picture, to frequently see it. Thank you to share this special and beautiful landscape with us. Cordial greetings. *Ninfa Urania*

Les trois couches de couleurs sont parfaites, le netteté estr impeccable, les arbres calcinés montrent bien la rigueur du climat à cet endroit.
Joli travail.

Excellent composition
and colors !

Fantastique Yuval.
couleurs folles saturées au possible.
ces squelettes d'arbres morts donnent une dimension grandiose à ta photo..
j'aime énormément. BRAVO

Superbe vue qui me rappelle celle d'un film. Les couleurs sont splendides, tout comme la composition. La profondeur (dov) est magnifique aussi et laisse voit tant les détails de l'avant plan que l'arrière plan. Très réussi. Bravo et merci du partage.

Great to see this "other" nature, good colours and sharpness, very nice composition, Yuval !!

Excellent composition and splendid colours. The warm/cold tones opposition works great and again, composition is great!

I like this composition very much. The trees are nicely situated and the three main parts of sky and sand make this a very colourful image. However, a few things bother me. It seems a little over-sharpened, there is some kind of a dark vertical bar on the left side and on the left tree are dust scratches.

Yuval, your picture is great!

It s a beautiful photo, composition and colours are super. I like this old tree and send dunes and a colour of sky.

It´s realy amazing.

Est-ce bien sur terre que tu as capturée cette image? Vraiment très irréaliste digne d'un paysage de science fiction. Bravo amicalement/jr point suivront

beautiful photo, amassing colors

beautiful composition, with pure -almost horizontal- lines and vibrant colors in high contrast. I like the bit overesposure that adds to create a more sunny mood..
The dark tree branches, with no leaves, give us an idea of the drieness of the place.
i like very much the crop.
Very well done -in particulary difficult situation-!!

Wonderful colors and composition. The capture is very Daliesque. I can't imagine how the trees at one time were able to grow at all.

Very pure atmosphere, we can fell space through your pic, colors are beautiful, it's well done

Great colors. מדהים!

Guy, this pic is soooooo beautiful!!!
O.O Did you walk into the desert???
This sky very blue, this colors of the sand... It seems a surrealism paint... Very very good!!! Nice shot!

Hello Yuval, The Sossusvlei desert has long been one of my obsessions: I am not sure I will ever see it but I always enjoy pictures when I look at them: This is a splendid shot, three colors, orange, cream and white ( Plus of course the blue sky ) enough to make a great picture. A very small critique,
perhaps there was a way to get lower and free
the branches from the back ! Yours friendly - Izzet

Stunning; un-earth picture :>).

Fantastic color. It's unreal. I'll add that to my list of places to go.

Hi Yuval,

Very good, one of my favourites.

In one word amazing...

This is superb. The color vibrancy is wonderful, the layering of the sand/hill/sky is really nice, but the dead withered trees really make the photo into a story - that things once lived there and now cannot. And yet there appears to be a bird's nest in one of the trees..? Fabulous...

This is exactely how I would imagine Namibia!

Hi Yuval
