Hi michael
This is a wonderfull POV, i really like it because when you look the picture(when it's small)seems like a real desert.
Well Done

Hello Michael. A fantastic motive. You realized it photographically outstanding. Above all light and color are impressing. Very beautifully. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Completely surreal but I love the colors, and the textures. Excellent POV and framing, including the curves of the river, the sea shore and the dune. Extremely good management of the light. Certainly a future hit!

Hello Michael,
A very nice landscape, suprising by its wonderful colours. I like the gold and silver tones and your composition, with the curve of the water, leading to the top of the hill.
You managed the light perfectly.
Regards,
Marianne

Hello Michael,

What a beautiful photo !
I like colours, the yellow hill contrasts with the dark sky and its reflection in water.
But the best thing, in my opinion, is the composition : clouds reflection in the foreground leads the eye to the water and then to the hill.

Hi Michael. Great photo. Perfectly timed to catch the best light and colours. I love the way you have composed this shot with excellent FG interest and the curvy water to lead the eye into the scene. Nice contrast between the bright land and dramatic sky. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

Hi Michael,

Very well done! Excelent POV and colours. Great moody atmosphere. I thought first that far away there is a sandy desert. Not shure if the sky was so "yello " or if you changed coloured warmness.

Nice work!

Kind regards Jiri

Michael,

This one has it all; dramatic lighting, perfect exposure, great composition with fluid curves that echo each other from the dune to the water, great sharpness.

Congratulations on this capture.

Hi Michael,
This is a superb artistic image which is extremely well composed. I like the use of the textured river sand which works well as your foreground interest....it's not required to have a specific object or person, as you clearly demonstrate here. Also the mixture of lighting enhances the overall result. Very well done.
Cheers Grant

Hello Michael,
I simply applaud this picture... It’s such a wonder of technical and artistic achievement I would never have guessed, had I not seen the picture description, it was taken from where it was, proof of an outstanding photographer. It’s just perfect, the huge dynamic range, capturing all that profusion of colors and shades, taken with the correct amount of dramatic and yet warm light, featuring those magic, sensuous curves of sand, water and clouds, the bulges of sand lying almost as if carved, popping from ponds of silky, cristal clear water... Oneiric!!
Regards,
Victor

Hi Michael, A fine shot for sure. Interesting subject and well composed, using the opposite curves of the river and beach, crowned by the brightly lit sand dune behind. Good sharpness throughout. magic. Cheers, Steve

Hi Michael,
Always a pleasure to see your pictures. This one has wonderful light and colours and is beautifully constructed with interlocking curves everywhere. I particularly like the foreground textures and the tantalising glimpse of the sea at top right.

smarcell (14309) 2008-08-20 5:40

These curves of light and reflection are fantastic. Then the hill under the golden l;ight, with the dark sky is just perfect.

I like very much the texture of the wet sand in foreground and the yellow tones in background.
