Sahara REPO

Simply magnificent.Everything, the composition, texture, colour ... a real dream.

I much prefer this over the intial post. The blue color on the original seemed out of place and it was confusing (to me at least) as to whether or not I was looking at sky or water. With this crop, the continuity of the dunes isn't broken and I think this adds to the sense of depth.

I also would have possibly liked a little more foreground but I have to say that your choice of color for the frame/matting makes that much less of an issue.

I have to imagine this would look tremendous if it were enlarged. Well done.

Glad you posted it again, Fred.Love this image.Anna

Marvelous! I prefer this to the original Version!

Striking! Would have rated it a 7 X 7, but the PITA system wouldn't let me.

Beautiful. A rather surreal look to it which I find very appealing. I agree with many others that this looks better than the original.

Wow! This is really a beautiful image--didn't see the first, but that's fine I can feast my eyes on this one.Great Photo!

excellent again!

Nice. Even we do not have so nice like this one for desert.

It is so beautiful. I would like to see the first one.

Great photo, Fred! Pleased that you didn't 'PhotoShop' the tracks out of the BL foreground...

Amity, that is still possible... Just go to Fred's Single Photo's folder!

This is an incredibly beautiful desert scene; I have a soft spot for well-done desert photos with palm trees in them.

I liked the original one a lot and I like this one as well.

This is an absolutely beautiful scene, striking tones and lines.

Beautiful image. The subdued colors make this image absolutely stunning.

Excelent lighting, color and composition.

It's lovely. Only problem I have is the frame that I think is too much like the color of the sand.

Good shot, a bit congested at the bottom, though...

wow !! absolutely amazing !

What an ethereal image. The velvety texture of the sand and the rich color really do it for me. I'm not sure I like the matching matte color, though. Excellent.

wonderfull-breath-taking...

Beautiful. One of the nicest desert scenes I have seen. I love the subtle colours. I, too, would prefer to see another colour used for the mat, perhaps one of the darker brown tones, or even the very subtle dark green of the palm trees, but I can see why you would have chosen to match the sand tones -- it makes the desert seem to continue beyond the frame.

even better the new version !

rg, erwin

A great shot.

I have already seen this pic on Psig Fred, and really this is a masterpiece. To be honnest, where I find your bird a bit "soft" I think this one is really close to perfect.
