Hi Tl friends.
Thank all of you have visited my first posting of Sahara.
Today I post the second picture from the desert of Sahara.
For many years Libya has been almost completely untouched by tourists. It boasts some of the most beautiful and unspoiled desert areas of the Sahara, rugged mountains and some magnificent, ancient cities and prehistoric sites.
More info about Sahara wikipedia
Only framed and resized the picture.
I hope you like. Enjoy!

HI Ioannis,
Wonderful composition with the wind blown sand making for a good sence of weather. Great details and color tone and texture.
TFS,

Nice vertical photo with wind blowing the sand.

Got one of those Sahara ones here:
http://www.treklens.com/gallery/Africa/Libya/photo90564.htm

but unfortunately do not know where it was exactly. One thing, that was long time ago.

Good composition Ioannis, with the ridge of the dune leading our eye up the picture.
I like the patterning created by the wind and the fact that you have included people to give us some scale to the shot.
The wind blown sand completes it for me.
Regards Jean.

Hi Ioannis,
Stunning view my friend. The three figures gives it a perfect sence of dimentions. Excellent how the sand dust is blown from the edge of the dune. Well captured. Must not be easy to shootsuch fine pictures under those circumstances. Superb job!

This is a very good composition, Ioannis. I love the placement of the human elements and how the sand leads to them. The wind blown sand adds balance to the picture. It is a great shot!

Φίλε Γιάννη,

Καταπληκτική φωτογραφία, η μεγάλη ειτυχία ήταν ότι κατέγραψες την στιγμή που ο άνεμος φύσηξε και παρέσυρε την άμμο σε σύνεφο. Η προοπτική και σύνθεση εξαιρετικές. Η γοητεία που έχει η έρημος είναι, μοναδική.

Hello Ioannis,
This is a very beautiful photo of the sahara. I like how you are showing the stenght of the wind with the sand flowing to the left and the textures of the sand with the wind lines. The inclusion of the 3 person complete perfectly this scene.
Greetings.
Luc

Oh, beautiful photo from desert. The textures looks so nice and sharp. Well composed. TFS.
