This is one more image from the windy day on dunes. It was the end of winter and I missed green grass, so I did it ;). See workshop for original image :).
This was one of these days I trembled if my camera will survive...
On the right upper corner you can find the lighthouse in Czolpino.

Bardzo, bardzo piękne. Wspaniale układa się światło. A pomysł z zieloną trawą absolutnie rewelacyjny - zmiana koloru podniosła nastrój dramatyzmu, którego brakowało trawie zółtej czyli martwej. Pozdrawiam równei pięnie jak jest powyżej T.

Czarujesz, otumaniasz brachu...
Piaskiem w oczy sypiesz...
Za artyste po wydmach ganiasz, i obrazki tobie swietliste po glowie chodzo...
Prawde mowiac - zadymac sie mozna niezle w tych twoich wydmach...
Naprawde doskonale...

Another incredible image of your gorgeous dunes, Henryk. The effect of the wind blowing is amazing - we can really see how hard was "he" trying to make the sculptures and destroy your camera :)) It's a place where it's impossible to follow one's tracks, that's for sure. I still can see some tracks in there, but they won't last much. The wind works fast and some new sculptures are coming up. Nice detail of the lighthouse seen in the far distance. Your green input made the image more appealing.
Have a great weekend,
Ricardo

Hej Henryku
Oto więc podróży w magiczne miejsce, ciąg dalszy... A cieszy mnie to niezmiernie :).

Rozwiany wiatrem piach, jak śnieg wyglądający, skąpany w promykach zimowego Słońca - piękności niezmierna :). A trawą zieloną, wiosnę zapowiedziałeś i uroku wydmom nieco przydałeś ;).
Podziwiam Henryku... Zaczarowana tu siedzę i patrzę, bo zdjęcie magiczne jest i piękne...

Serdecznie pozdrawiam

P.S. Widzę, że fotografowanie wydm jest Twoją kolejną specjalizacją... :).

White dunes, the feeling of wind & your green grass. The lighthouse in the far distance adds to the depth. Love the effect of the wind as is apparent from the blowing sand. Beautiful image!

I love the grey colour you got for the sand together with the incredible textures there. An excellent one.

swietna fotka jak zawsze dopasowany kadr umiesz pokazac przyrode ze swej najlepszej strony,swietne!Pozdrawiam

Hi,
I like much the silver tones of the sand, effectivelly contrasting with the green (made :) - appreciate the sincerity) grass.
What I find really interesting is the same glittering effect on the sand as here. There must have been a special day.
Beautiful windy desertness.
Best wishes :)

Your PP work on the grass looks very natural - well done. The light and the blowing sand together make a wonderful image.

Hello Henryk my friend,
Wonderful pov and very nice composition. The details on the dunes, the scaterred sand, the sharpness, details and colors are just wonderful. Best personal regards. Salvator.

I'm not one for color manipulation. But I must admit that the green grass has made quite a difference here. The contrast with the colorless dunes is very effective. So, well done. Regards,

Hi Henryk,
I really like the sand blowing off the dune. Together with the angle of the grass it gives a real feeling of a windy day. I can see why you were worried about your camera. HLJ, Pat

Hello Mr. Bilor,
You seem to have suffered from cold (this is ice, not sand i guess, lol) but it gives a nice breeze to me while it is 30 degrees outside here. I wish i had known how to selectively change the colors of things in my photos but i lack this ability. But most impressive is how you present the icy surface in so shiny reflecting light. I appreciate your qualified photography which you present the artworks of the great sculpturer. TFS,
Deniz

Wonderful shot. I love the composition, everything! Perfect mood. Well done.

It's really interesting the different colors you succeed in getting with the sand. That's well done and realized as often.

Magnificent panorama and dunes. Well managed job.

Cześć Henryku!

Znowu wydmy? Tak, lecz tym razem w całkiem innych barwach. Ciekawie wygląda ten piasek biały jak śnieg. Być może zabieg polegający na zmianie koloru trawy spotęgował biel piasku. Tak czy inaczej, zdjęcie to (po całej serii innych, nie mniej udanych) stanowi kolejną zachętę aby wybrać się do Słowińskiego PN. Do latarni w Czołpinie będzie z tego miejsca pewnie z 40 min drogi ( z piaskiem w oczy)

pozdrawiam

henryk,
excellent work!
nice use of light and capturing the flowing sand of dunes was amazingly done. very fluid. well done.

Hello Henryk,

Until I saw the green grass, and read your note, I was convinced this was a b/w. In any event, it is a 'Genuine Bilor,' like a genuine Picasso. But I like this better! The composition and perspective, the light and shadows, and the colors and definition are all superb.

Warm regards,
Bulent

Hi Henryk,
Lovely great picture and very good POV...!
I prefer this one for the colors clearer..! Good management of the perspective on the dunes...
Very nice composition....I like it..!
Best regards,
Patrick

Hello, this is really impressive scenery, I would not ever guess that this is Poland.. :-) Great work!

Hi Henryk,
Magnificent capture!
I like very much the effect got by the wind blowing over the snow, it seems like fog or mist or anithing that gives this special mood.
You did a pretty good work in the PP, the green of the grasses really improves the image.
I like also the high contrast made by the strong light and the shadows.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.

You "hit and run"! You dissapeared for some time now, but I am very happy that you're back with this excellent and very atmospheric shot. It has a "surreal" feeling, that drives my mind to unknown and mysterious places. Congratulations!

Félicitations pour cette superbe prise de vue.

Hello Mr. Bilor or should I say Mr. Dunes?:))
It's another one of those amazing shots you keep on making at the dunes showing us some of natures power along with beautiful views.
As Ricardo says, we can almost feel here the wind blowing, so much sand is in the air. Once again you played well with the light here creating a splendid atmosphere. The foot tracks on sand are a nice detail along with the grass being 'pushed' by the wind and the natural curves of the dunes (which i think won't look like this in some days).
Cheers.
Paulo

Hi Henryk, A great shot with a little bit of misteque, the atmasphere is a touch chilling, however the light has been very well used, excellent composition & the choice for your POV was well thought out, TFS, kind regards Wilson.

Hi Henryk,
Great cature here. Amazing effect of the wind blowing. Very good details and frame

Hi Henryk. Great photo. The backlight shows the flying sand well and adds a deep contrast to the shot. Well seen and well captured. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

Hmmm, Henryk, it seem that I missed that one and that is a pity. You got another stupend shot. The wind and the light are playing beautifully with the sand. Very nice!

Hi Henryk,

...there is a lot of pretty visual expressions of wind in your gallery...this one is a quite suggestive view, i almost feel like having some beach sand in my shoes right now...greetings to the planet Dune;-)...i think that the trick with the grass being changed to green here helps to get some nice, lively contrast...cheers, arturo

Hello Henryk. The little grass visible create a nice contrast under the grey snad/snow on the ground. The lighthouse is barely visible but it does catch one's attention in the far distance. Nicely composed image with good sharpness and soft light. Thanks Henryk.

Hello Henryk. I just spent the last 25 minutes looking deep into your gallery which has so very many excellent captures to view. I am sure you would agree that it is much more than simply finding the places to take unique photos....instead its capturing wonderful lighting in those unique places! And I see that evident in all your photos.

The sunlight captured through the blowing sand here is wonderful to say the least. Keep up the great work in finding creative expressions from the land from which you wander through.

Hi Henryk
The wind raises snow and lighting diffuses the particles, that gives a very beautiful appearance to this composition. The back light is very interesting.
Cheers.
