panorama 2 Desert's heart

I spent long hours, first looking for the right place to place my

tripod (I like the foreground to be clean, not messy, so it took me a

while). Then I was waiting for sunset. The photo is taken right after

the sunset, when the shadows covered the whole ground, but did not

reach the mountain. It was the only way to have a red sand visible,

without burning the rock itself. Comments are very welcomed.

Very nice colours and composition. I't tend to center the Rock in the middle, but that's a matter of taste ;)

Very nice!

Best regards,

Olaf

Your patience has paid off waiting after the sun had set to capture the rock in all its beauty.    Would like to see a larger image.     John

Thank you both. Olaf, I have some more (like a thousand) more shots - with a rock centered also :-).

Having the red of the rock in the sun while the foreground is in the shade and therefore more muted really helps the rock to stand out while showing it in context at the same time.  Your patience has resulted in a great photo.

Really jealous of you! I would want to go to Australia some day to this place! The red sand is so unique! Yi

Cool shot Vivi.  I love the red glow on the rock and the off-center placement of the rock works very well here.
