wow… this is quite stunning… i really like the color combo – a steely gray sky with the satiny sand… wonderful!

Absolutly stunning. I never saw sand dunes with a grey sky…looks surreal. Wonderful job Adel! Cheers Madeleine

Very impressive–like a Georgia O’Keefe painting!
Stark, sensual, beautiful and moving… I especially like that the only real movement is the tiny wisp of sand blowing from the top-most dune, yet the colors and shadows give the impression that the dunes are alive and undulating. One of my favorites!

This is mesmerizing. I like the tiny wisp of sand movement on the tip of the dune, and in contrast to the silky smooth lines of the sand in the foreground…. amazing!

Rain clouds in the dessert!! Wow, a rare occurrence. The folds and creases in the sand make it look like a drape of canavas rather than the sand.
Congratulations!

For a moment it looked like crumpled brown butcher paper. At first I thought it needed a focal point, then I saw the wisp of movement. That is all it needed to shout.

Quite a minimalistic shot. Very nicely placed in the middle however the background, the clouds or what ever it is seems a little out of place cause the sand is too well lit.

very nice shot – moves like the waves

Stunning, and the sky is unusual – usually we expect a blue rather than this steely grey! Really well done!

Wow, really great. The sand does look like satin, and the colors are stunning, especially contrasted against the stormy sky! Congratulations on your beautiful POTD!!

The sand looks as if it is made of silky material and the color composition is just right.

Great image and colour…….but where is the camel…?

27th February 2009 at 2:33 am

Makes me think of a wonderful custard cone!
