The 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.

This 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!
Chris
Great balance of composition, very eyecatching.
Reuben Chircop
Very 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.

A timeless look,The contemporariness of which only betrayed by the figure of the Sheikh- apererntly using a camera. Sign of the times?

Wonderful 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..

This 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!
