Photographer's Note
Two guys in almost suits were passing by the dune hills of Erg Chebbi. One of them was carrying a guitar case. This was obviously a business trip but i did not hear any events like a concert, wedding or conference around the place. Who knows why and where they were coming from and going to...
As I do not own a telezoomer, i only pushed to the 55mm of my poor kit lens.

Hi Deniz. An intriguing image and a challenging title. One doesn't usually associate a business trip in such a setting. Still, a man's got to do what a man's got to do as they say. It is a special photo because of the surprise element and the beauty of the environment. Selam. Klaudio.

Colde iki yaya? hem de bu kilikta :)
enteresan bir goruntu.. yakinlarda bir yerde 4x4 leri gizlenmis olmali.
Bir col fotografinda yakalanabilecek en ilginc "ilgi noktasi" olsa gerek.
fotografa bakinca colu ozledigimi tekrar farkettim. Arap diyarlarinda yasayip colu ozlemek, istanbul da yasayip istanbulu ozlemek gibi bir sey olsa gerek.
Selamlar

Bonjour Deniz
J'aime beaucoup la construction de cette image.La mise en scène raconte une histoire d'un voyage d'affaires qui s'annonce long et chaud. L'arrière plan est de toute beauté.
Amicalement

Hello Deniz, a very nice image here. I can almost feel the heat. Must be very hard to travel in black suits there. But anyway i love the sand patterns on the hill in the background. Good take.
Regards!

Hi Deniz,
I don't know if such a view of walking men is quite common there but from my perspective looks extremely exotic and unique! Perfectly executed image with superb sense of timing! Like it a lot! Very well done.
Cheers,
Gosia

Hi Deniz
another AWESOME shot.
I have so many questions!
did you camp out here? or is it just a walk through? was it with a tour group? and is it close to the city with easy access???
love the shot of the 2 men, very strange and brings up many questions also :)
love the silky smooth sand in the bg.
and I agree with your black and white shot about the sexy curves :)
cheers

simdi bu kadar kisi begenmis, kusur bulmak bana mi kaldi di mi, belki kiskanclik:)) ama ondeki kucuk tepeciklere takilmis durumdayim, arkadaki kum tepelerinin yumusak dokusunu bozuyor sanki. Belki orjinal olan dokularinin farkli olmasi bilemedim, usenmedim WS bile yaptim. Bakalim sen ne dusunursun...

Hi Deniz
Excellent and expressive composition. The elements work together and also the out of place figs in stark contrast speak to us directly whlie we are enjoying the beauty of mother nature at the same time. A very striking and I think it is worth the effort. Congrats
Kind regards

İyi günler Deniz Bey,
Telefotonuz olmadığı daha iyi olmuş. Bu uzaklık tam bağlamlı bir çerçeve vermiş. Kumulların görkemini de yitirmemişsiniz.
Saygılarımla,
MT
PS - I think the little heaps in the foreground are just fine, they help define the sojourners' path. I prefer the original to the one in the workshop.

Hi Deniz
You could be right, it looks like a business trip, but I would not do it, when I would had to walk a long distance through the desert. Yes I see the guitar case, perhaps he goes for a rehearsal. Excellent POV between the sand dunes with high sharpness. Well done
Warm regards
Urs
