Hi Annie...
Cool shot. I really love the trax and how your POV. Also the cracks in the sand.. if it was snow I'd be an avalanche may have followed. :) :)
Great notes....

Annie,
What a striking image you've captured here. So this is how they toboggan in Tunisia, eh? I like it, especially if the weather is +30C. Excellent photograph and one I would never have expected. Cheers, Todd

i wouldn't be surprised if in the future, we canadians, will have to tobbogan in similar conditions, considering that winters are getting milder, less snow is falling and the temperutures seem to rise consistantly.

its a brilliant shot, and i'm sure just like in the snowy conditions, it's also a hustle to get uptop.

Bonjour Annie
Assez impressionante cette descente de dune. C'est curieux je me demande pourquoi la couleur du sable est diffrérente après leur passage, est-ce qu'il pleuvait? Bonne photo, j'aime bien cette composition d'image. Deux des gars semblent d'un certain âge, ce qui prouve qu'il n'y a pas d'âge pour s'amuser. Belle présentation amusante.

Hi Annie!
You show us un interesting scene: boys are boys at whatever age they are and circumstances are irrellevant to how we feel most of the times - even in the desert we can feel as on a snowy hill..
Good compo with string diagonal is a big plus to the capture.

Bonjour Annie

Cette photo est très originale et démontre bien que l'on peut exporter notre technologie à des endroits où on ne penserait pas.
La prise de vue est excellente et démontre beaucoup d'actions.Les couleurs entre la butte de sable et le ciel se complètent très bien.

Salut Annie,
Ca l'air très palpitant cette descente, par contre il n'y a pas de de remonte pente et ca ne doit pas être évident a remonter une dune de sable....
J'aime bien ta prise de vue avec la diagonale et la chaleur des couleurs du sable.
Amitiés.

Je ne savais pas qu'on pouvait glisser sur des montagnes de sable! Faut dire qu'elles se font plutôt rares par ici! Jolie photo surprenante et saisissante! Bien vu! Merci!

Bonjour Annie !

Image amusante et bien actuelle (^_^). J'aime bien le ''grain'' de ta photo ici. Dommage que Ghyslain ne soit pas du nombre des joyeux lurons qui dévalent la pente! Leur joie est évidente! J'espère avoir l'occasion de voir quelques photos des décors de Star Wars prochainement.

Attention aux maux de dos! La neige cest beau , mais pelleter est éreintant!

Super cliché de grands qui ont gardé leur coeur d'enfants. J'aime les différences de couleurs dans les lignes de sable (j'ai vu que c'était dû à la pluie qu'il avait eu, on voit que la couleur du ciel est encore menaçante).
Je suis heureuse de savoir que la neige vous est enfin arrivée. Ici nous allons avoir une semaine bousculée par la météo aussi mais de la neige là je n'y crois pas du tout, nous vivons dans une région très tempérée.

Salut Annie,
Vous l'avez eu la tempête hivernale :))) Wow, 50 centimètres, ça fait longtemps que je n'ai pas vu ça. Honnêtement, je vous envie mais bon, ce n'est peut-être pas aussi agréable que ça :) C'est une photo qui réchauffe en effet, on glisse comme on peut surtout en Tunisie mais ça doit être très amusant. Je sais que dans les dunes de Tadoussac, les gens font du ski sur le sable :) C'est une bonne capture de ce moment, il fallait être alerte pour avoir tout ce beau monde dans le même cadre, bravo!

Hi Annie,

This picture reminded me the Dunes of the city of Florianópolis, south of Brazil, there we have these dunes also and the personnel practices several sports in her falling in the sea.
Beautiful visual, Colors, details and sharp they are wonderful and only of seeing his happiness descends for the dune, it is fantastic.
Congratulations

Bon, à défaut de neige, ils utilisent le sable. Ça doit être rugeux dans le fond de culotte.

Outstanding....!!! I would like to know how the knuckles on the two gentleman on the right ended up. Looking at the photo, they were holing it on the outside. Lots of friction witht he sun = lots of scratches.

Superb... we never let go of our inner child in ourselves do we.

Salut Annie,

Beau moment capturé.

Composition: 9/10 (Subject positioning, crop, pov)

Creativity: 8/10 (Originality, usage of imagination, thinking outside the box)

Rigor: 5/10 (Sharpness, Exposure, PP, Presentation,) Could be sharper and noise reduction on the subjects makes them fuzzy.

Exploitation of the light 9/10

My humble assessment.

Cheers!

Ben.

J'y vois 2 lignes parallèles: Celle de la montagne de sable juxtaposée à l'alignement de ces sportifs qui éprouvent la nostalgie des plaisirs d'enfance!
