[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is where we camped, maybe 20 kms from the "Flaming Cliffs" (very red cliffs). It is fairly easy to find ancient stone tools and pottery fragments around this campsite. They are all just lying there in the desert.

This is a picture of a sunset. After the sunset, everything would usually stay lighted by twilight for another couple of hours. This was nice but frustrating, because after twilight, you can see every star in the sky from here.

Very beautiful photo Mike. It looks like almost from a movie about Mongolia :) The frame fits as well. The whole picture gives the feeling how it is when You fall asleep on the desert. Good job.

Nice. It seem that this tent is in the middle of nowhere. The framing is excellent.

I like it, it greatly shows the vastness of this terrain, and captures the mood of such travelling, and being alone with the nature

Great composition: one can feel how lonesome you must have been in that place. Might try to increase saturation (to give more reds to the sunset).
Frank.
