This looks very weird..as if fore and background didn't belong together! But wonderful sand and interesting composition! Incredible!

Amazing sight, Antonio. Like Léonie wrote, the scene has a slightly surreal quality. It is very well framed, with the two thirds of undulating white sand dunes making a beautiful textured foreground to the resort buildings in the back. Good DOF and beautiful colors; also the afternoon light is doing a fine work on the sand. Well done.

I like the wrinkles on the foreground Antonio, the white sand plateau together with the shadows make a very nice image, also the background with the green parts in the middle and the luxurious buildings give a nice composition.
Thanks for comment ans sharing.
Greetings John.

Hi Antonio,
Very good compo. It is very interesting to see the bondary between sand and the forest. It emphasizes the contrast with all the colors.
I like it a lot.

Hi Antonio, good and original compo. I like this contrast town/sand ,it looks so unreal ...
The frame and DOF are excellent, and the tones pleasant.
Well done.

Géniale celle-ci !
J’adore cette composition, la différence entre le premier plan très claire et l’arrière très foncé !
Ca donne un très beau contraste et beaucoup de substance à votre photo !

Très bon travail Antonio

Amicalement
Sébastien

wow, like a desert, really ncie capture of it and also the patterns are just fascinating, really well captured

It's amazing, Antonio. It feels that these two different scenes are not connected to each other. THe lower part could be an amazing shot alone, but it's much more powerful with the upper part. Great captured, and well seen.

This looks like two different shots! How strange! I love the patterns and shadows on the sand!!! -Jenn

Dois planos naturais distintos dentro da mesma composição. Gosto desta perspectiva semelhante de algum modo à anterior foto. Dá a sensação ou a vertigem de que estas bonitas dunas vou acabar por desaguar no cenario superior. Excelente contraste, luz e sobretudo imaginação. Parabens Antonio!

Very nice photo Antonio, what a great contrast between the sand dunes and the lush landscape in the background. Nice depth and superb colours. Well done!

Amazing shot with very interesting composition.
Exactly, oasis in greens. Taking time is accurately chosen to show beautiful the dune.
Excellent work!

Nice contrast and these dunes are spendid.
Well done for the choice of this view and framing which gives the sensation to be in the sand.
Bravo

Hi Antonio

Spectacular lighting has accentuated the superb texture in the sand dunes. Well seen. I like the 's' & 'z' shapes of the dunes.

A difficult one to get right i think. The sand is very bright asking for a short exposure but than the background is lost..
Here you got it nicely but I think you could improve. Maybe taking it with low sun.. An easy way is to ofcourse take two pics with different exposures and than blend them together so as to bring the best of each.

regards,
anton

Superbe vue impressionnante où l'opposition du sable blanc avec l'oasis font la part belle de cette photo ; peut-être une saturation un peu excessive sur les vert ; je sais que tu aimes les couleurs vives.

Unbelievable sight!
Very good and surprising contrast between white sand in the FG and greenery in the BG.
DOF helps a lot!

Hi Antonio,
great contrast here between the two parts of the photo, the foreground is most spectacular with nice sand ondulations adding graphism and great light giving it a very blond color.

singuanti (15240) 2005-01-26 23:29

i'm glad you explained that because I thought I was looking at a desert in Brazil! shot with a good point of view that leaves the viewer wondering. nicely done.
