Red dunas of Namib Desert in sunrise's light...

Information from Wikipedia:
The Namib Desert is a desert in Namibia which forms part of the Namib-Naukluft National Park one of Africa's largest. The name "Namib" is of Nama origin. The desert occupies an area of around 50 000 km˛, stretching some 1,000 miles (1,600 km) along the Atlantic Ocean coast of Namibia, which is named after this desert. Its east-west width varies from 30 to 100 miles (50-160 km). The Namib Desert also reaches into southwest Angola.
Sossusvlei is famous place in the heart of the Namib Desert; it is a huge clay pan, enclosed by giant sand dunes. Some of the spectacular hills of sand are, at a height of 300 metres, the highest in the world.

Hello Andrzej,

Excellente composition avec cet humain perdu dans les dunes et qui donne une bonne idée du gigantisme du paysage. Les courbes formées par les dunes et les couleurs sont superbes.

Cześć! Bardzo ładne zdjęcie z tym człowieczkiem. I jaki piasek. Na takiej pustyni byłem na Synaju i w Abu Simbel w Egipcie. Pustynia koło Hurhady czy te w Maroko są już zupełnie inne. Ciekawe zdjęcie.

Hi Andrzej,
Oh my, this is amazing. I can only imagine what it must be like to be walking in this endless sea of sand. The colors and contrasts are striking and the overall impression is one of beauty and flowing lines of color. Great shot and TFs. Gerald

desert...my dream forever
i envy you Andrzej...
fantastic shot,amazing colours.
thanks sharing
regards,anes

WOW! wonderful. what a shot. congrats.

I really like the colors of the sand here.
In my house I keep a small container with sand of this area but the light is very different so the sand is brown not orange.
Cheers

Hello Andrzej.

GREAT SHOT :)

Amazing capture.

Hi Andrzej,
Long shadows look great on this and there's no doubt that the best time to shoot here is when the sun is low. Glowing orange colour and massive sweeping dune lines. Is that a person or a shadow? Excellent detail anyway.

Hi Andrzej,

Cheers from Antibes.

Amazing composition with an excellent color balance. The silhouette is rather showing us how insignificant one can be in front of those giant dunes. Great shot.

Hi my friend,

An astonishing picture of a beautyful place. Your pictures of Namibia just makes me want to go there and work!!

Did you worked there for the oil industry?

Cheers

To jest ciągle moje ulubione, chociaż inne też mi się bardzo podobają. Małgorzata

Hi Andrzej, Wonderful pic of a sand dune in a low light, the silhouette perfectly revived the view. Good sharpness. TFS, Michael

Witaj Andrzeju
Świetne! Niesamowite są wydmy afrykańskich pustyni - ależ barwy, ależ wysokość, jakie świetne kształty. I postać malutkiego człowieka na ich tle. Bardzo ładna kompozycja, zdjęcie bardzo dobre.
Pozdrawiam

Hi Andrzej, The colours are so strong & warm, you have captured wonderful shadows & the silhouette of the single person walking is excellent & makes a good photo great, STUNNING, kind regards Wilson.
