[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The dunes in the Namibian Desert are the highest in the world. This one dwarfs the 35ft tall tree growing at its foot.

Their size makes them impressive, but their delicate nature and their spectacular colour makes them special to me.

It is still early, 9am, and the earth and creatures are bracing themselves for the searing heat of the sun later in the day.

Even in these harshest of environments, there are animals and plants that thrive in this habitat.

I also thrive in this environment.

I LOVE THIS PLACE!

Hi Dirk,

Having been there myself I can say that this picture resembles what I've seen very well. Great composition, vivid but realistic colours, razor sharp...
Worth a much dark greener smiley than can be selected...
Moving the pic into my favbox.

Best regards and best wishes for '08.

Well done!

Best wishes for a happy and healthy '08.

I thought this was a Pyramid from the thumbnail!

This is a truly stunning shot Dirk, angles, colours, tones and composition are perfect.

TFS and have a Happy 2008.

First of all I think this is nice material, but immediately then I find the frame much too heavy. I cropped the picture and then I saw that there should be some more contrast. I made a workshop for you. Btw, it's also good in b&w.

Super ujecie. Gratuluje!
Pozdrawiam Witek

Hi Dirk, I read with interest the one negative comment about the heaviness of the frame. I think many who were to buy an image like this would mount it on a black matt. Exceptional photography, well composed, good colour and fine detail. TFS,
David

I really like this shot. You made great use of color light and shadow to highlight the dune's monstrous size. TFS
