Looks very much like a place to get lost...and never return.

Dear Michael Fleischmann!
Amazing perspective.
Very interesting landscape.
Good capture.
TFS!

Very nice compressed perspective.. The white sands are interesting - it's all dark yellow and reds over here.
Anyway, nice shot - I think if you cropped a lot of the indistinct sky out and made a pano it would be really good..
Cheers

Hello Michael,
I agree with WhiteKnight's suggestion about a tighter crop. I would even crop the whole upper third of the photo, not showing what is behind the "dunes". That crop also would avoid the (false) impression of your photo being tilted (see the landscape lines behind the dunes).
Said this, I very much like the atmosphere of this shot. It seems weird to have a crossroad like this in the middle of nowhere, with to roads apperently leading to nowhere. The white dunes, and their opposition with the dark soil on the foreground, appropriatly underline this "nowhere-feel"...
TFS & kind regards,
Erik
