[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This photo was taken in Yemen in Unesco site – Shibam, one of the most amazing places I’ve seen. I’ve been wondering around and just before sunset I’ve noticed warm sun rays shining through sand flying in the air. I only needed suitable point of interest to make this photo work, luckily I didn’t have to wait long for these men to appear.

No filter was used on this shot and those warm deep colors are created by a sun that was just about to set down.

Taken at same time as :
Walk in the magic light
Play the game

Hi Lucie,
that light is as your title already says...truly magical.
I took a look at the other pictures too.
You really have a very talented observant eye.
Thanks for sharing!
cheers,
laura

Oh Lucie,
an absolute golden photo!
;-D
Can't believe how lucky (and quick) you were to capture
this amazing natural phenomena and play of light & sand,
to get this most beautiful pic full of atmosphere.
I like the way we can see the palm tree and the building
through the haze, and the right hand side has got only
them two guys and nothing but the heavenly light as a
backdrop!
So exotic! Well done,
Robi

Hi Lucie,

Not much luck to this really. You consistently put yourself in situations with interesting subject matter in flattering light. This is no exception and has a wonderful minimalist appeal.

Cheers!

Hi Lucie,
a masterpiece with the beautiful architecture shining through..
Compliments, Chris

Hi Lucie,

I instantly recognized the light from your "Play the game" picture! This is another great shot, almost with thàt light as its only subject (though I must confess "Play the Game" is still my favourite from the series). Thanks again.

Benny

Hola Lucie,

Huuauuu!! Nice shot, magic light. Well done.

Josep,

Lucie-

Amazing capture of amazing light.

You may have the people a little too close to the bottom of the frame, but now I'm just being picky.

Nicely captured moment in time!

Lucie: composition is right on, but the color is stunning. As you know from those who've commented below, this image is a real winner. c

Hi Lucie,
Simply wonderful! I love the tones from white to yellow to orange, and of course the two men are a key addition.

Hello Lucie,

On a l'impression que la lumière est d'or ! Ces silouhettes qui se promènent dans cette poussière dorée donne un coté très mystèrieux à l'image ! Tu as su jouer magnifiquement avec la couleur et la lumière ! Bravo !

A+

Just Splendid Lucie. Just enough urban background behind the dust to recognize in which part of the world we may be. The silhouette of the man on the left also strenghten the oriental touch.

Magic light is right! The sun backlighting the dust gives this a very mystical quality, and the warm light emphasizes the otherworldliness even more. Of course the two men really make the shot work, and you have achieved a nice balance between the men in one corner and the buildings visible in the opposite corner. Wonderful shot Lucie!

Hi Lucie
The light is amazing, especially as it's without a filter. The way the sun shines through the sand gives a fantastic effect. Having the silhouettes of the tree and traditionnally dressed men add to the atmsophere.

Wow, Lucie! Yellow fever! Very nice atmosphére. I´ve shoot some incredible yellow clouds (I will post it soon), but this situation is really amazing! The silhouettes of that people are great details, as the dust from their feet and the palms and building. Great photo!

Zeca
(Did you ever had any problem with your camera advising "err99" when you try to shot?)

Bravo !! C'est vraiment un lumière magique !! La composition est très bonne et les couleurs superbes !!
Bravo !!

What a stunning image!!! brilliant!

That's my favorite of your serie. I love the light and the strong presence of dust. Your composition is very good with the unreal vison of Shibam behind. You realised a good balance between a static and wistful reverie and the dynamic presence of people... Very beautiful colors.
Congratulations,
Marine
