I like the image in two parts. The people walking on the dunes. They seem in hurry somehow, as if commuting. In the same time the city in the background reminds us of the realities of urban life.

Hi Liliana,

These people give a good scale.
Good WE

Hi Lili, I like this image with desert dunes reassuringly close to civilization. You can walk on them without worrying about getting lost. Nice composition and dramatic sky.
Ciao

Hi Liliana,
The framing of this photo makes it unique with the wide foreground of dunes against the city. The broad sweep of clouds above give the photo a sense of menace. The two persons walking with such brisk purpose across the dunes enhances the feeling. TRhe compositon makes me think of Frank Herbert's Dune Messiah.

Hi Lili,
To me this one is one of the best in you gallery, the undulations of the dunes together with the foot traces on them create a lovely graphic foreground that has a color that contrasts very well against the dark cloud, having the person walking there and well placed in the frame to create an eye focus point is definitely a plus.
Have a nice week end,
Jean-Yves

quite dramatic...sun and darkness...the people are in light makes them look pretty cheery ..and walking on dunes the easy way to get around
good and overbearing sky keeps the lid on this shot
cheers

Hi Liliana,

the best shot in your gallery.....the sand , two people walking in two directions.the clouds and the small town....the composition is mindblowing but I have a small suggestion..you should incorporate some more in the note...so that the viewre can understand more about the photograph..

Great great shot...and excellent POV,

Indro

Hi Liliana,

A beautiful photo. I like contrast between this sky charged with large gray clouds and these bathed dunes of lights where pretty effects of shade take shape. A beautiful composition, cheer.

Best regards and good WE,

Jean-Charles

Ciao! Interesting subject: you made interesting to see the dunes very close to the village. Nice to see all those paths on the sand and just a few attempting to climb the dune on its steepest side!
Bella foto, brava!

Hi Liliana, this is a good picture here, no burnt sky, full of colors, i love the walking lines on sand, why not just shooting the sand and walks of human, could be an idea.
Great one :)

Hi Liliana,
I like very much such pictures which combine blue and yellow tones.
The walking man in your composition gives a good sense of dimension.
Thanks for sharing,
Alper

Hello Liliana,
un très joli ciel mais qui n'annonce rien de bon, va-t-il pleuvoir ? J'aime les courbes de ces dunes et aussi les jeux d'ombres et de lumières sur elles.
Une superbe vue avec la ville en arrière plan.
C'est très bien cadré.

Mes meilleurs voeux pour 2007.

Daniel.

Very nice dramatic lights and colors. These sand dunes look beautiful. The composition is great, I love it. Only thing that is bad is the heavy compression - there are some undesirable 'artifacts' (especially visible around the 2 persons, on the buildings). I see that your uploaded file was only 64 KB out of the maximum 200KB allowed here in TE. You should always save with little as possible compression and upload file as close to 200KB as possible. But this is just digital matters. Otherwise I like your photo a lot.

Hello,
an interesting view, it seems that the dunes are very frequented by the walkers (counting all the trails across). But the combination of this warm golden colour of the sand and quite dark cloudy background that gives a great atmosphere to the photo. Very well.

Best regards Kristof

Hi Lili !
Great beach....but where is the sea ??? :-)))
I imagine people looking for the water as I see their steps on the sand...

- Sorry...have you seen the ocean ?
- Keep walking straight then turn left at the next dune !
- Thanks.

Well done Lili.

Hi Liliana,

I didn't know they had this Sahara-like environment on the island. I like this light on this. Your eyes are drawn to the two persons walking there. Great capture! Gilbert

Also appropriate for a daily life scene, as it appears that the people are heading to work or out for exercise.

I like the contrast of sky and sand, city and open area, curves and linear features. Stunning!

Very unusual scene for me to look at. In Cape Cod, Massachusetts the sand dunes are protected area and no one is allowed to walk on them.
