I would like to proceed to Namib dessert.
We arrived to Sesriem just before sunset and as soon as we checked in the local camp we decide to drive a little bit into the dessert.
The sunset was amazing if you share my feeling looking at this photo.

OH MY GAWD !!!!

It looks so different when you open to enlarge this picture. amazing colors of the evening and the layers of mountains are simply breathtaking. The placement of trees is just perfect. This is one picture to remember.

Hi Olga,
The different colour layers of the mountains and the dead trees looks like a tale picture, I really admired, cheers..

Hi Olga
It is a very beautiful shot. I especially like the mountains in the background with its gradual brownish colour. It creates a sense of distance. The dry trees also add information about the barrenness of the area. Good exposure. The details in the foreground are still can be seen.
Well done.

Hi Olga,

Very nice! I just love deserts. I surely get the feeling when looking at your photograph. A bit the feeling of the vastness and harshness of the desert in Sudan there. Only too much trees in this one, to be Sudan ;-).
I did add a workshop with a bit more punch and dynamic range. Hope you like it!

Greetings!
Dennis

Great shot Olga, love the stark contrast and layered colors, fine capture.
