Hello Swiatek,
Welcome to TL.
I like the colors and sharpness of this photo. The sunset colors are very warm. I like also the multiple layers of the dunes that create dimension. Great shot.

a belated welcome to tl to you!
i like this, the colour is great, and the duellists silhouetted by the sun is good composition. very good.

Welcome to TL, Swiatek. A great idea to shoot against the sun, with a lovely composition and nice colours. IMO the fighters have a bit too much light on them (did you use fill flash, or +1 exposure compensation?). I'd have used a negative exposure compensation even, to capture them as black silhouettes... The light halo around the models, due to the backlight, are great...but you do have to be careful with that, when you need to downsize for TL they tend to give 'jaggies' and that is what happened here, also in the edge of the dunes behind them.
Still, a wonderful image. Thanks for sharing (TFS).

Beautiful catch, Swiatek! Love the position of the sun which made beautiful shadows on the sand. I couldn't resist making a workshop on this one, I hope you don't mind...I had to be a 'parasite' this time, I do dream about visiting Sahara someday soon myself!
congrats on this picture!

Have the feeling to assist an action movie! Congratulation! Sand have rich texture! Postures are excellent! You catch a great moment!

One of the very best sunset shots that I've seen for a long, long time. Dramatic, graphic and with plenty of foreground detail, which ain't easy ... and I wish it were mine!
All out of points but I will return.
VERY well done.
