Excellent capture Edwin, well composed. The use of DOF is very good and gives a great bokeh. I like colours too.
A superb work, thanks for share it :)

Thanks for pointing it out to me that your brother is on TL as well. I see this is the same stunning site that he posted a beautiful shot of. This one's both nice and funny. :)

PS: I have to get a proper dSLR. :(

:o)) i like your brother ;o) Fantastic sharpnes, background, DOF and composition!

Oh man, this is such a good pictures. Those trees in the background make it look surreal. Photographer at work! Love this kind of pictures. Good lightning and control of DOF. Take care!

Hi Edwin,

A brilliant capture of your brother, the angle he's shooting and his twisting position really makes the shot. Excellent!

John

Wonderful photo - composition/background/colours/mood/dof...model;D
great work!
M:)

love the bokeh, its perfect! you can see the trees and the horizon but they are a bit indistinct. Nicely composed. I would love to have seen the other side of the "shooter" though.

Good composition

Happy Hunting

Perfect work... :)

Excellent portrait with very good composition and a superb selected DOF. I am glad you have placed him to the right, because that kinda shows us his action well.
Good work, I see your brother likes this one too :)

Hi Edwin,
A great shot, strong composition and I like the low POV a lot, it really adds depth. Good use of shallow DOF, excellent shot.
Regards,
Adrian

Very interesting photograph.
I like the very neat framing (it is very effective!) and the narrow DOF used. Colour scheme is also great.

Regards,
Daniel

Leuke foto Edwin, Namibie is inderdaad heel mooi! Ik hoop er ook nog is naar toe gaan, met mijn camera natuurlijk!

Hi Edwin.

I've seen dozens of photos of this place but never with any human element. This kind of 'semi-action' shot brings the place to life in a way that a straight landscape / travelogue photo cannot.

I particularly like the shallow DOF which leaves us in no doubt what the subject matter is but also leaves enough residual information to appreciate the context.

It looks like a hell of a place and as hot as hell, too!

Great shot. Regards, Paul.

Dit ziet er zeer proffesioneel uit Edwin in alle opzichten,klasse.
