After 100 posted shot, I finally try to put a shot into panoramic...
(it is missed for this time because the ratio is of 2.23!!!),

This one was taken under an unusual heat for the season (according to our guide), it made 40°C in the shade but since the shade was non-existent, it was more 50°C.

For my part, I was glad to find the Jurassic cold to cool me a little!

Hi Philippe,
The photo is a bit too dark for my taste, but I really like the composition here. This place looks so isolated and it seems strange to see that guy running nowhere... it gives you a better scale of distance and perspective.
Cheers,
Alon

ton cadrage pour ce cliché est trés agrable,il permet de laisser le regard vagabondés sur ce paysage aride(dommage pour le pano).peut etre un peu trop de contraste, mais bon...
a 50°cela a du etre trés chauuuuuuuuud!
ciao joel

Hello Philippe, you succeeded in creating this sense of loneliness. Nice composition and balance even though the horizon is tilted. I would level it.
Good 2/3 horizon proportion. I like the guy to be off center to the side of the pic enhancing the meaning of your pic.

Take care, Yan

Nice shot, Philippe, it captures the vastness well. I agree that the ground looks a little bit too dark, but the image still works well. Panoramic was a good choice. Regards, Ken.

100 points is a big milestone Philippe! Congrats.

Great crop. The way you place the lonely figure so extremely to the right does a great job of really emphasizing the size of the natural environment he has found himself in, and really does give the feeling of loneliness and isolation.

Une bonne photo qui porte vraiment bien son titre. On dirait presque qu'il s'agit d'une lointaine planète. 50 degrés, vraiment pas pour moi.
Bien fait - Paul

Salut Philippe
J'ai loupé ta 100ème (Ca s'arrose!) et ton 1er pano qui ne le fait pas !!! J'ai eu le coup aussi....
Au soleil ça doit monter bien plus que 50° !
