[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Another posting from 18 months ago in Vietnam, taken with my ealier Fuji camera. But its fun to try to reclaim some older pics. Mui Ne is a very interesting place along the coast of southern Vietnam. Among many other features, are these sand dunes, that seem to devy explanation. The clouds were particularly wonderful that day. And these two kids, with their playfulness, while not being able to speak our language, and visa versa, helped to make our hike along the dunes that much more fun.

Hi Steve,
The composition is very good and colors amazing! A dynamic shot!
But something is strange: despite of the marvellous sky the dunes seem too little contrasted, almost without depth! Why?

Hi Steve,
A nice youthful action shot with those boys obviously having a ball out there in the sand dunes. Nice colors and a very vivid sky. Well seen and TFS. Gerald

Despite lack of deepness, for me it is magic. Congratulations

Hi Steve,

Excellent capture while boys are enjoying to climb there. I like also spectacular sky with clouds while creating a sharp contrasts with dune. A great view, congratulation.

Hello Steve,
Wonderful photo divided in two layers of contrasting colours, where the sky and its bold clouds are so important and beautiful.
These kids seeming to run towrds the 'ice creams' in the sky gave the photo great life.
Nice photo!
Cheers.
Paulo
