Hello Nan,

This is my favorite image of mine that I have seen on TE today. There is something so unique and wild about it. Some may say to you that this resembles a 'car commercial' but I see it as a great moment to capture. The car is perfectly placed on this rich red dune, the backlighting is wonderful and the colours are deep and well saturated. Great earthy tones! Sharpness and all other image quality components are top level. The 'filmstrip' type framing is very pleasant. Awe inspiring sight, congratulations and keep it up!

A very beautiful light and colors.
Maybe you have increased sharpness too much, as there is a black narrow line around the dunes.
Impressive landscape anyqay.
Regards Stefano

Hola:
Fantastica fotografia, magnifico colorido de las arenas del desierto junto con la puesta del sol y las nubes de color azul metalizado como el 4x4. Precioso contraste de colores.
Un saludo desde España:

This photo had me looking at dune pic.s for an hour to find this and rate it because it is so spectacular and beautiful! The contrast is fantastic and I love the sky and that the SUV is the color of the stormy clouds, blending the natural colours of the sky and the metallic, man-made SUV . . . man against the elements! Superb!!
