Beautiful :-)

I love the colors and the contrast while the background of the rock alittle bit bothers me ... Anyway, nice shot :-)

Hi Kristine,

thank you for posting this old one. We all have good ones in the drawer. It's an enigmatic place. I love those curves..don't know they look sensual for me. Very good compo, fine details and good light. I like this a lot!

Carlos

Hello Kristine. When you have a shot like this in your shoe box. The rest must be much more stunning. I would post one immediately if it is in my possession. Stunning undulating sand in pleasant lightness and shadow. The detail texture is just stunning. No need for a blue sky as this is just simple and gorgeous. Thanks for sharing and best regards. Jusni

Hi Avene, the sky is blue enough, what I like about this shot is the textures. I like the fine texture and colour seen in the sand, but I like too the look of waves with the sand. There are actually "lips" on the crests of the sand dunes. The lighting in this shot of yours is very good giving us very good shadow detail.

Thanks, John

Hi Kristine,
first of all congratulations for this great milestone!!
a nice 3D effect here with the textures of the sand making the shot beautiful to look at. I really like the great feeling of silence and vastity you managed to bring in. Excellent one!

Hello Kristine:

One viewpoint impressive.

I seem to be viewing the curves of a beautiful lady in a horizontal position. Large tracts arid although regrettable by the global warming, it is curious that cause so much beauty as this scene.

Sound management of lighting, excellent tones and perfect frame.

So... You are 100 now , eh ??
And a great 100 it is !
You are all in curves and bends, hot and seductive...

You said: Just the two of you... You and the camel only...
Oh, well...
Dumping K. was maybe the smartest thing around...
You'd never know... :-)))

Great production, Kristine...
A cure for sore eyes...

Hi, Kristine -

Well, you're off to a good start in your desert quest! It doesn't matter that the classic tourist-on-camel isn't in here; the tuft of grass and especially the hills in the distance (something I didn't see when we were there) make this shot interesting without it.

And the sky is about right, too.

Best,
Dan

The posts you make of your deserts Kristine I can see that it will be to all out advantage that you visit them all. You capture a life in these remote areas that many can't/don't see or feel and I think we are all better of for havinf seen your shots.

Hi Kristine,
Outstanding texture and lines to the rolling sand dunes. The brilliant golden color to the sand is wonderful complimented by the deep blue cloudless desert sky. Simple landscape blessed with intense beauty. Opps I almost forgot to extend congratulation on your 100th post! You chose a beauty for the occasion.

Hi Kristine,
A beautiful desertscape of gently undulating sand dunes with wonderful warm colouring. I like the hints of details like the little ripples in the sand and the grass, and beyond the dunes the contrast of the grey mountains.

Hi Kristine,

Very good capture of the design on the Sand Dune...
When are you visiting Dubai and Oman .. i can help...

though slowly the Dubai desert is consumed by the growth in the development of the real estate sector..

OK, I give up! I tried to resist to the appeal of your picture but I can't. I love the color and the shapes (I'd love to swim, jump and roll myself in it... after a picture of the sand dunes, virgin of tracks, of course) An excellent light, and, I'm sure, a very pleasant journey.
Regards,
Marine

Marocco has excellent view like this one. I like the colours and the sand 'waves'. Light very well managed.

Hello Kristine,

I love it! It's absolutely amazing! Colours, composition, light...and the place itself. I have a weakness to this kind of desert - camel - Arabic shot:)
This time I simply have nothing to write except - superb shot;)

Have a nice week!

Kristine,
seeing this one I can understand why you call yourself to be aperson in love with the desert. You should get to know the American Soutwest and you would have it all, including the sand dunes that you got here. The dificulty is just always foreseing the composition so that you don't out your footprints into the landscape ;-)
Perfect moment of the day to get this shot!

Hi Kristine,
Magnificent curves! I like this sight taken in height ( from the camel) which lets appear bluish mountains in the bottom. Colors are magnificent as well as the definition and the relief given by the shadows.
I have to go one day in the desert!
Congratulations

Not too late to celebrate...you don't look that old Kristine:-). You choose a great one for this special milestone...sensuous, warm, curvy, nature loving...I love it. Makes me want to touch that sand...superb colors and light. To be a bit difficult, :-)I may have cropped just above the hills in the bg, because of the duller color of the sky. Nothing in the foreground is perfect here:-).
Funny feeling sitting on a camel hehe, like being on a boat, you managed greatly ! Hope to see you around for a long long time dear K&K!

Warm regards
Michèle

Hello Kristine
Flaming colours, undisturbed dunes, crafted by nature & untouched by man (footprints)... a simple picture which perhaps is an expression of the euphoria you experienced when you saw these dunes for the first time. Would it have been possible to compose it in some sort of diagonal?
And I just saw this was your 100th post! Your first landmark in this site. Great knowing you here, seeing your pictures, learning from them & wish to see many, many more (Kristaps also reached this milestone recently)
Best Regards
Angshuman

Hi Kristine,
Simply...WONDERFUL!
And congratulations for your 100th!
Let me just have this picture flying over into my faves... here she goes.
Hell, after having mum & sister visiting over here I went through almost 2 weeks of heavy overtime on my work to catch up with all sort of stuff, hence my silence. I'm fine now and back on schedule, so I'll check out little by little what else you posted lately.
Meanwhile : have a great day, I'll see you soon.

Fulvio.

Hi Kristine,
So you forgot your 100th, and I missed it (but looking at the submission date, I see that you posted when I was off to the meeting in Lille). You couldn't have made a better choice to mark this your first TE milestone as it's a very graphical shot with all these curves and the saturated color. Deserts are always so photogenic!
Cheers.
Bibi

Hi Kristine,

Old is Gold.. and a precious image for the 100TH POST :)
Sensual, cool, yet a volcanic depth in colours..
The image has the music, and somewhere deep down in minds, a strange passion curves along, like the desert winds...
Precious !!
Smile the days, dear friend.

Hi Kristine,
And here is what I expected; I can imagine you rocking along on the camel through the velvet sand. The bit of mountaind peeking over the dunes does very well for providing contrast to these beautiful dines,
