A classic. A little more sky and it would be perfect. Good work.

Exquisite light Angshu, the sadows against the sand texture are really eye catching.

Bonjour Angshu
Love the long shadows standing out well against the sand dunes and the light/shade contrast. Including a bit of the sky was a good idea!
Have a nice day

Whoa...! I guess you took this from the back of the camel! The shadow looks like Dali's elephant on stilts. The light on the dunes is gorgeous, especially all those ripples in the foreground. Good work

Hi Angshu,
A nice compo taken at the right time when shadows hit their longest! What legs! The camel man also looks very long! I suppose you are the one sitting on it? Nice wavy texture of the FG sand...
Good one

Hello Mr. B,

Your versatility never ceases to amaze. This time an image from Rajasthan, illuminated by the grazing angle of the sun. I like the abstract elongated figures created by the shadows. You have somehow eliminated the commercialized aspect — no one except the camel, rider and the camel's handler is in view. The rope that the handler is holding is seen subtly.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Finally, it's not so usual to find great shots from Sam Dunes. And you did it inspired !!
These huge shadows are excellent and the light and colors are perfect. Well done.

Hi Angshuman,
Fantastic graphical effect of these shades on the golden sand of the dunes. It is a very attractive, illuminated well composition, with a beautiful game of lights and shades and with a few very well saturated colors.
Great setting, very balanced and in that you have left a small space for the blue sky in the picture.
A beautiful work, my friend.
Best regards,
Josep

Interesting idea with perfect result, that tall shadows effects really nice against the orange desert.
Well composed Angshu friend and have a nice day...

Bonjour, mon ami Angshu,
Une excellente photographie, une fois de plus avec ces ombres géantes s'étalant sur le désert.
La lumière est parfaite et l'originalité de la photo est excellente.
Amitiés.

Hi Angshuman

I like the long shadows of the camel, and the textured patterns in the sand. Good colour contrasts between the red & blue. Tfs!

Hi Angshuman,

The point of view leads our eyes toward infinity. The light of the sunset is giving nice colors to the sand, sky and a set of shadows of the camel and persons in the foreground. The scenery is giving a sensation of tranquillity. Have a nice day.

Hi Angshu. My only comment is that about my being privileged to see this shot sitting close to you in a warm Delhi day a fortnight back. Liked then. Liked now. Shall like for ever. Regards.

Hi Angshu .
J'aime beaucoup ce jeu d'ombres sur le sable de la dune. Le relief en ridules creusées par le vent donne un bel aspect au premier plan.
Une très belle photo !

Very original shadow of the camel on the yellow sand (which has a beautifull color). It clearly reminds me of Dali's long legged elephants.

All the best,

Emmanuel

hello angshuman

interesting exaggerated shadow perspective. i like it. a shadow of an overly enterprising camel driver and what seems to be an extatic tourist on the camel back ;)) was it you on the camel, by the way? :)) i like the light and texture, my friend. well caught.

with warm regards,
kristaps

hello Angshuman, and sorry to be late for the party in honour if this photo. is there any cake left? :)
fantastic colours here, the warm red light feels like a soft and thick blanket that covers the day :) and good work in capturing the beautiful textures of the sand, and I like a lot how the exaggerated shadows mirror the gentle curves of the dunes. excellent work, I like it a lot :)

with best regards,
Kristine

Hi Angshumanda,
I have seen quite a lot of desert shots in Te and other websites. This is surely the best so far....I'm speechless.
Mind blowing shot. I loved the colors and the long shadows.
Very well caught.
Regards,
Sagarneel.

Someone told me once, "shadows look longer in the desert", and now, looking at your image, I see that it was true. I should have to go to one desert to look taller! ( Ha, Ha, Ha !)
Good job Angshuman :D

Hi Angshuman. You have captured the essence of the dessert well in this shot. Great colour and good detail. Well seen and well captured. Thanks for sharing.

Well, this is delighful Angshuman. Despite the overcommercialization of the place, you make it look like a wild one indeed.:-) A classic revisited, I love the textures like velvet, the wonderful warm colors and those exaggerated silhouettes make for a great graphical impact. You look like calligraphy:-).
I like your note too, poetic and informative.
Warm regards
Michèle

Hi Angshu,

Please, allow me to thank you first for you visit to my modest gallery and leaving such flattering critique. I was very honoured to received it. I'm glad to read we have such a great common TE friend. :) I must admit I do not have a lot time to participate on TE lately, hopefully that will change soon, so I'm very grateful for you introducing me to your work. I had a quick glance at your gallery (I will take more time in days to come), just to notice your great development in photography in past two years. A real inspiration for us, beginners! I choose this one to comment since I'm colour and shadow lover. All aspects of this shot are in such harmony, from colour contrast, smooth shadowed sand and outlined silhuettes of small caravan. The silhuette of a man is outstanding, so slim and elegant that I thought to myself when seeing it that I would not mind having a sculpture of appearance like that in my home. Simply fantastic! Capture of art if I may say so.

Warm regards,
Jeri

Hi Angshu,
May I wish you a belated Happy Birthday?

The looong shadows of the camel and the minder aggainst ther red sand make a really good compo. That line of blue sky gives the perfect contrast.

Hi Angshu, nicely seen, the long shadows are unusual and efficiently arranged in the compo, I esp. like how you caught the shadow of the guy, in kind of curve coming from the side. The light is pretty. Regards, Daniel

Hi Angshu,
What a great composition. The desert for itself is impressive but the complement of the shadows made this shot unique. You even managed to avoid your own shadow. Bravo!!!

Hi Dear Angshu,

Thank you for your visit to my gallery before mine. I was away for a time and I coudln't connect to Internet but now I am back for a week and I see that your gallery is full of great shots like this one. The evening light on dunes which is only shadowed by the fantastic shapes, catches our eyes and takes toward the horizon. Amazing composition.
