Footprints through the Dunes Photo

Photographer’s Note

Nature displaying her beauty - taken in Egypt in the Western Desert. These are my lonesome footprints wandering through the dunes (around sunset) - but nearby the 4WD with my driver sits with rugs and a fire ready for a night out under the stars...

What a beautiful scene. The colors are magnificent and the footsteps just add to ambiance of the shot.

Hello David,
This is appealing for the sand details, yellow hue offset by the blue sky. And the eye is led into the distant dunes.

Good job,
Ray

Hi David,

From a distance this color is wonderful and overwhelming .. as I get into it the details of gradients and textures are wonderful as well. the vastness is so amplified by the prints .. truly tremendous and spectacular image ..

take care, John

The sand has such a beautiful lustre. It looks like gold, not only the colour, but I mean also the shine. Depending on whether you look at the sky, or just the sand, or both together the sand seems to shift colours!

Well done!

Hi Dave,
The vertical frame works a treat, it balances the sand and sky well.
Wonderful colours, the sand has a remarkable luster to it.
Very nice post work here, not intrusive or overpowering, just perfect.
Regards
Peter

Hi David,
I like this smooth tones with a fine sharpness on the wind patterns, the lighting in the late afternoon also makes the footprints stand out. Amazing shot of the dune shining in gold.

curves and colors are fantastic

Hi Dave. Just beautiful, great colour palette and wonderful patterns and forms add a graphic quality to the scene. And a night under the stars in the desert, nice adventure. Thanks for sharing.
Have a good weekend, Paul.

They are excellent those nights under the stars. We had one in Botswana in the middle of the salt flats. Simply wonderful.
For the photo, it is an excellent work with a fantastic deep view of the sand dunes. The footprints really add the depth in here. Well done.

Footprints in the sand dunes, what a great idea, congrats Tom, well framed and executed with no tilting of the horizon, fine sharpness and great DOF due to the footprints. Vertical was the best to show your footprints. Well done

Best regards
