[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A view of the Dubai desert as the sun's going down.

I went for this shot - with an ND4 grad to get the dark background, and draw the eye to the front of the picture to the detail of the sand. I did have to clone a few bits of litter out of the picture - sadly the litterbugs get everywhere!!

Just amazing! A classic look at the desert, but with the low lights and setting sun, you created a really super mood here David! Really nice work!

Hi David,

Litter in this beautiful setting?? Hard to imagine. This is one terrific shot of the desert. The repetitive patterns in the sand, the soft light from the sun, shadows, and dunes, all make for a wonderful composition.

I can only imagine the peace and tranquility one must feel in this setting!

Enjoy your day! Lisa

That's a very interesting and beautiful effect David; sorry about the litter, litter-bugs seem to pollute everywhere you go these days.
The ridges on the sand show up very well with the setting sun behind them

Nice one bro!
You've created a good abstract affect. I can imagine this blown up big on someone's lounge room wall. Very mysterious.

Good one.

Not something we see often!
Very special and a fabulous athposphere!

Excellent composition formed by the patterns in the sand and the small slice of sky. Really nice details in the bottom of the image.
