excellent colours and pov.
I like the shadow/lights game played by the desert..it looks almost like a veiled posed on an irregular surface.
furtthermore I like the juxtaposition between the little fragile man and the mighty endless nature

Hello Asparuh,
Great photo, I love the look of dunes and the shadows they make. I'm going to Tunisia in two weeks and can't wait for the trip to Sahara! :)

Hi Asparuh,
Wow, wow, wow.... where did you end up with your camera, on some distant planet?? :) I love the texture you've got here, colors are rich, and a walking person in the distance adds to give us the perspective of the place.
Regards,
Blanka

Hello Asparuh
A very interesting landscape with its repetitive dunes creating a graphical impact and with the play of light and shade. I might have increased the contrast but nonetheless it's a great image.
Cheers

Hi Asparuh,
Good pov to show the broad landscape enough to include patterns form by the wind, sand and shadows, beautiful natural scenery in desert, nice to see some small plants and a walking people, good shoot.

Dear Asparuh, I like this compo, the endless desert, the pattern of sand dunes and especially the ant-man in the centre. Many thanks for sharing, Jalab

hello asparuh

wow, i like this one a lot. the pattern in the dunes is fantastic and the human figure serves as an excellent scale anchor. i feel, the composition would be even stronger and more surreal if the sky was completely excluded in this one: just the field of dunes and the lone, daring man.

cheers,
kristaps

Hi Asparuh,
Never seen this one before, but it also looks great in comparing to mine you placed a comment on. The sky is a bit too much, just as the lack of good strong contrast (the ws by Kristaps is pretty good), but the overal impression is huge...i like the vast endless landscape....and the human element adds a great detail and works as a good focalpoint.
