[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I spent 10 days in Namibia in December and loved it. Beautiful country. This photo is from Sossusvlei, a stunningly beautiful part of the Namib desert with red sand dunes. These dunes have formed over millions of years and constantly change shape due to the wind and new sand desposits. Tough suckers to climb too...

Curves and lines make for a pleasing abstract. I wonder, could you superimpose a dark blue sky? Nice one raymond

Beautiful and colourful shot of one of the most magnificent places on earth. You have to have seen it to believe it.
Is this one taken from the famous dune 45?

Precioso paraje, bellos colores, y esa soledad que me encanta, quizás qué guardan sus arenas....

Excelente.

The delicate tones and color add to the lovely lines and shapes. An excellent image indeed! B

I like the different colours on the dunes. We climb dune 7 outside Walvis Bay. I know what you mean. One step forward and 3 back.

Very well captured.

Just beautiful Raymond. Such nice colours on the dunes in the foreground.
Great composition.

Beautifully composed with great colours, Raymond. The surface of the dunes is so smooth and does not betray any human or animal life; just so pristine. Nice light throughout and I don't mind that the sky is a bit pale. Well done & welcome to TL!

Beautiful landscape, Raymond! And well captured. Could be a bit sharper, but at the same time, it gives a nice silky effect. Great job and welcome to TL!

Dit is goud!! ( Je hebt geen snelle rondetijd nodig)
Errg mooi hoe het licht de lijnen van de woestijn uitpakt! Van zachte glooiing naar messcherpe randen, het staat er op! Mooi gedaan, Mooi pov!
Ik kan er eigenlijk alleen maar naar staren en óooooooh denken:)
Ben het eens met LenScapp over de lucht, misschien komt dan de gouden kleur nog meer uit?

Groetjes!

Hi Raymond,

Namibia is my favourite country. Without a doubt.

You captured a stunning view of the lovely place. The sharp edges of the dunes and the different colours and textures are rendered well.

Lovely work!
