First take a look at Going back home .
About half an hour later the Sun was setting down. The man on the top saw the last rays of our Star, but I didn't...;) We had only 2 km to our cars. The trip was about to end. But in February 2008 we`ll meet again as we do since over 20 years.

Hi Henryk,master of the dunes and magic light!
A great shot from this place and your low POV is well choosen.Good composition with a perfect placement of this man`s silhouette and nice sunset colors at the sky.I like that the snow in the foreground has the same color as the sky at the top of your great shot.
Regards,Leo

Witaj Henryku
Niebo tutaj płonie intensywnym pomarańczem i czerwienią, co doskonale kontrastuje z chłodem zimnego niebieskiego i tworzy wspaniałe widowisko w naturze. Świetne prezentuje się tutaj ciemna sylweta człowieka na tle nieba. Ujęcie jak dla mnie jest symboliczne: " Zaraz coś się skończy, zaraz zniknę z waszych oczu...". Postać tego człowieka zdaje się mówić: nasza wędrówka się teraz kończy, ale za jakiś czas znów się powtórzy. Hmm to początek i koniec, ale to i odrodzenie... :).
Piękne, symboliczne i pełne NADZEI zdjęcie!
Super!

Pozdrawiam serdecznie.

very good time of the day to get this amazing result henryk... the blue snow and the pink sky looks so surreal... and the man adds a lot to the charm of the compo... a real good one, my compliments...

Hi,

The sky looks like it is on fire. The composition is fantastic and the position of the chap in the frame really draws you into this picture. I wish I was there.

Bonsoir, mon ami Henryk,
Fabuleuse photographie tout droit sortie d'un ręve. La beauté du paysage est superbement rendue.
Il existe des moments de grâce, encore faut-il saisir ce moment.
Félicitations pour cette talentueuse photographie.

Back to your fantastic style that I appreciate so much. I love the soft textures, I love the colors with these dark blues enveloping the reds. A great work.

Hi Henryk,
A well composed picture with good timing capturing the man in right place against this spectacular sky... nice how the colors is concentrated on the middle, and up in the clouds, and down in the ground it has same color tones...

Hello Henryk
You are truly a master of capturing light. Love the colou tones here the cold sand in the FG against the warm red of the sky. The man is perfectly placed in your frame and is vital for the vitality of this picture. A great shot!

Witaj Henryk,

Hi Henryk. I love the Going back home photo and I love this one now also. I think it’s the human element in both photos. Good handling of light has given you good foreground detail and a dramatic sky. Nice work and thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

Cześć Henryk
Piękny koniec wycieczki, jestem niezmiennie zafascynowany barwami jakie potrafią wyczarować ostatnie promienie zachodzącego słońca. Znikająca za wydmą ciemna sylwetka nadaje wyrazu tej fotografii. Piękne.
Pozdrawiam

I like sunsets, especially with a colourful sky like on your picture. Great place at great time.
Best wishes,
Achim

Hello Henryk,

Hello Henryk,
at the first glance i thought that the colour of the sunset was a burning landscape,but fortunately it was just the sunset.The looking man in the top line looks like a soldier in his observation.Excellent the contrast between the shadow in the foreground and the colourful light of the sky.Well done.

Regards,danos

Another beauty Henryk. I love how you timed the shot just as the man was about to disappear over the hill adding some poignancy to the image. Needless to say the colours are superb.
Kath

Hi :)
That's beautiful, somehow symbolic: the sunset = the end of the day (and of this trip as well - as I am reading the note).
Wonderful colours, wonderful moment.
Hope that 'The first view' of the next (February) trip will show us some sunrise colours :)
- over 20 years... that's great!
Kind regards.

Hello Mr. Bilor,
Impressive cinematography. Something like the ending scene of a movie. "The Return" may be the title of the movie...
Excellent atmosphere with the sandwiched horizon in pink tones and the silhouetted figure. Congrats,
Deniz

Hey Henryk,

Overwhelmed by fantastic scenes specially on nights when the atmospheric sky changes below the horizon which glows up in the light of the opposite side. I like the 'fierce' pinkish-orange hues reflected by the low looking clouds. The trip has ended with 'images we carry till we meet again...'

Pozdrawiam

Hi Henryk.

It wasn't an easy photo because of the light and exposure, but you managed it very well and you get a very good work.
Also I love the composition with that person walking alone.

Regards.

my first thought when i saw this picture was "...oh no fire on the mountain...
but then i understood that i'm looking to a sunset

great photo and i like the man standing on the left of this photo

Hi Henryk,
This is extraordinary shot. Composition, colors, man's silhouette and his point, sky view and same colors sky and ground, all of them are Excellent. Compo organisation, timing, POV are also so good. By the way, " Going back home " is also so beautiful and good. I'll look at it more later on.
TFS,
Have a nice day.
Best friendly regards,
Emir Nedim

Hi Henryk, A wonderful shot, like the end of a film with the hero walking off into the sunset after a great battle, the coloured sky looks beautiful & the overall composition is first class, a great photo, kind regards Wilson.

Olá Henryk

Uma foto nota 10!
Cores impecáveis, um trabalho cheio de arte, amei.

Grande abraço,

Hi Henryk my friend,
Wonderful composition and superb deep colors in the sky. The silouette of the man stands our superbly nice.

Hello Henryk,

You play very lovely with the light and the red colour to the sky, it's formidable how the silhouette of the person in the dune against the light in background themselves reflect.
Very nice composition, very well done.

Have a nice week,

Hi Henryk,
A rather poignant, indeed mystical shot, with the fiery sky above the silhouetted walker. The leaning pole adds to the mystery and aura, while the darkened, smooth foreground is also intriguing. A very fine capture, Henryk.

Hi Henryk,

I love the colors .. at fist I thought this was snow until I followed you link .. the composition of "watching the watcher" works wonderfully .. I think amplified by his foot prints .. and the seeming reverence of his posture .. you have frozen a wonderful mood .. beautiful.

take care,

Hej Henryk,
Fantastic view with a great mood. I like the blueish, dark surroundings with these wonderful colours and light in the sky in the middle. The person is a great addition and well placed in the photo. Good work!
Regards,
Lars

Hello Henryk,
On the previous one the light on the ground was richer but this one has a much better looking sky with the rich tones in the middle and top of it. The footsteps leading to the man are a good way to make us travel thru the photo and the nude look of this place creates a good atmosphere of loneliness.
Cheers.
Paulo

Superb colors and light. I like that red and blue sunset sky over the snow-covered beach and the lonely silhouette.

TFS,

Andreea

Another outstanding capture of this 20km trek, Henryk. Next year, I'll join you, as well ;-) Gorgeous colors on the sky and excellent placement of the human sillouette.
Enjoy the weekend,
ric

Hello Henryk,

Again one of those photos that deserves the remark, most of us live in one world, Henyrk on another. What an astonishing symphony of colors. I intend to put this image among my favorites, as soon as I can free up some room. The composition, perspective and resolution are beyond reproach, like a number of other photos.

I am just back from a month in the Mediterranean, rejuvenated, and in possession of a myriad new photos to post...gradually. Warmest regards,
Bulent

Hi Henryk,
Caught good the feeling of come back home because of the man moving away during the sunset in this landscape of frozen dunes and with a thin layer of snow. The sky seems to burn, its light and its colors are amazing beautiful.
Magnificent work, my friend.

Splendid light, your other photo is great too but this one has something really unusual, colours are so strange and nice,

Hi Henryk,
I'm glad you linked the two photos; while the first shows the struggle this one shows the triumph of a successful excursion. The lone man and brilliant sky is much more dramatic. HLJ, Pat

Hi Henryk,

Interesting and mysterious photography, I like the perspective, excellent light and intense colours, you chose the best moment of the day well, the person perfectly is placed and creates dynamism to the work.

Hi Henryk
