[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This image from Dooievlei in the Sossusvlei area reminded me of souls reaching out for someone to save them. The red of the dune strengthened this idea and I increased the contrast and adjusted the hightlites untill I was left with these surreal colours.

Slight crop and framed.

Hi, Dirk,
A very artistic shot with particular atmosphere
TFS
I like it very much
Valerka:)

Awesome color tones! I really like the different contrasts...it does look like souls reaching out. Sort of spooky and mysterious. Nice idea, good creativity, and good presentation.
TFS!

Bonjour Dirk,
Je ne me lasse jamais des vues de ce désert. Les couleurs sont si surprenantes et intense.
Cette composition juste à la base de la dune prend toute sa dimension avec ce large encadrement noir que tu as choisi.
Bravo

Brrrr, how great!
I like it very much.
But the frame is to big imo.

Wow!

Dirk, this is a really impressive composition. Artistic, imaginative, and well prepared.

These colours certainly work very well together. Very earthy and altogether appealing....I like it alot. Great choice in framing too.

Would make a great abstract painting. Congratulations!

regards,
Martyn
