April 15th, 2008 at 2:14 amThe curves of the dunes are quite good ! The color theme is also very good, especially since the sky follows it as well. The clearer and the darker parts, as well as the shadows and all the different shapes present in this quite geometric picture make it somewhat mysterious - and the foggy sky and uncertain horizon add to it, I really like that. Was it not for the person standing in the foreground, this could have been mistaken of a modern art painting ! This is really good, well done.

April 15th, 2008 at 2:44 amThis is a surreal setting—it looks like a scene from Star Wars! The proportional magnitude of the sand dunes compared to the individual is staggering! I love it!

April 15th, 2008 at 6:32 amVery nice shot, the colors especially are very deep and the fact that the sky compliments the sand is very effective. the guy on the sand dune is miniaturized when compared to this magnificent giant. Great photo.

April 15th, 2008 at 7:34 amWonderful colours. I probably would have cropped the man to the left or right, but this works as well. Without him, it is just a nice shot of a great place, with him, it is much more..

April 15th, 2008 at 12:53 pmThis is such a lovely picture! The wavy tips of the sand dunes look so “perfect” and I don’t like to use that word, so you know I’m being truthful! Great work!
