View of Dead Vlei. Amazing sight!
Hundreds of years ago these trees, with roots up to 30 meters deep, were still alive. The slow formation of the dunes trapped them from water and eventually they died.
One of the most beautiful and stunning places I've ever seen, very worth a visit!

Beautiful graphical effect! Bright colours, good contrast black silhouettes against brown sand. Very well seen and captured!
Best wishes,
Elena

Great portrait composition of this landscape, although a wee bit too edgy on the right. You even captured the mirage in the background. The purity of the air makes for astounding photography. Excellent image!

stunning image, love the 'shimmering', thanx, M, (*_*)

Bonjour Edwin,
using your nic name's letter: O WOW! What a compo. Balance, thirds, colors, sharpness, DOF...Perfect. Congratulations!

Great shot Edwin, well composed and colourful.
Thanks for sharing.
Michael.

Strong contrasts; expressive shapes; very dead mood.
Good work Edwin
Huub

excellent framing and composition
bravo

Tsandunami!
Very like UAE for me. Red sand, high dune. Dead tree/s.
Perfection would be three trees rather than four but what's a man supposed to do? Chain saw? No.
Nicely layered.

waoh great shot, bravo!

Wauw i love the abstract. best regards Mirella Huisman www.theartist.nl
