Hello Rudi, I remember how amazing they were, these dunes... Nice photo with very good colors and perfect sharpness. I like especially the structure made by wind and so lovely exposed in the foreground.
Well done!
Regards
Kamila

hello Rudi ,
Not so easy to realize a good picture without strong or focal point . But here , this is a success : only the dunes , the sky , and a little part of blue sea , for a splendid picture .
Regards

An amazing and unexpected scene in Europe, Rudi, beautifully captured. The delicate ripples in the sand create a great pattern here, while the wide angle gives a great sense of vastness out to the sea here.

Dag Rudi,

In totale tegenstelling met wat we vandaag buiten zien, ik ben deze voormiddag opnieuw foto's gaan nemen van het zeer mooie winterlandschap.
Deze duinen tekenen zich zeer mooi af tegen het kleine streepje zee dat we kunnen zien.
Samenstelling en presentatie is heel mooi en zonder mensen, iets wat aan onze kust niet mogelijk zou zijn.
Goed foto werk, bedankt.

Prettige koudedag met -3.2° op het middag uur.
John

Hello Rudi,

The low POV and the distance on the sand gives deepness. I like the ripples caused by the wind. The colors are soft andd the contrast between the sand and the sky is interesting. The sharpness of the image is very good.

Best regards
