[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
We were staying on the edge of the Sahara in SE Morocco, and our hotel had arranged for an overnight in a Bedouin tent which they owned. We went there and came back by camel (complete with handlebars on the saddles, and VERY slowly). On our way back the next morning, I spotted this dune configuration and had the leader stop while I composed this shot from camelback. Since even an inch in one direction or another can change the shot completely, this would not have looked the same from the ground.

I made minor corrections to the shadows, but the hard part was the sky; I simply could not get the shade I wanted. When I finally gave in and bought Photoshop CS3 (I had been using Elements), I was able to get this color with the Replace Color adjustment. It looks perfect in the print, which is how I make my final judgments, but it's close to that on the screen.

Absolutely gorgeous... and "simple"

Hi Daniel,
A very esthetical shot.
I like the simple and pure line. Edges are very sharp and sand texture beautiful.

Hello Daniel,
very nice graphistic photo and at the some time a minimalistic one.Excellent composition with a sharp eye to can see these 'details'.The horizontals lines make your capture 'particular'.,I think,like ls7902,that a sexy woman is leaning..and we see her from the back. The colours are saturated and the light is so vivid too.Informative your note too.Congratulations.

Regards,Danos

great photo, simple but amazing. nice curves makes it appear soft.
Great colors and composition.

Wow, it looks almost erotic, Dan! Or maybe I should take out the "almost". It's very well framed, and the light brings out a beautiful skin-like softness. The sky color looks natural, can't tell you used "Replace Color". Regards, Ken.

Hi Daniel,

I love the curves and layers .. the gentle textures .. the light and tone .. wonderful image. Wondrous composition.

take care,

John

Nice mix of soft colors and soft shapes.

Hi Daniel,
A nice image on the sensual curves of the desert, and it gives plant of sand warmth under this light, I did a small WS for you check it out !
Have a nice day, JY

Very simple, very beautiful, I love it :)

a beautiful capture. very smooth and sensual. it's almost like looking at a naked womans body.

Daniel bonjour.
J'aime beaucoup les formes presque féminines de ces dunes. Les couleurs sont superbes, une très belle photo.
Jacques

Hi Daniel
It looks like a close up of a female boyd. great framing and exposure.
Good work
Jorge

Hi Daniel really like thoses dunes shoots, they looklike the human female body impressive what we could do with a caméra.Great sharpness and POV.

beautiful curvatures....and the sand is so unadulterated...i think a richer blue in the sky would look nice....

Is it a part of the body of a nice girl? No, it is the desert, I know. Extremely fine texture, natural colours!
