Blowing sand illuminated at sunrise in Death Valley.

Like from a different world. The most amazing desert photo I have ever seen. My best wishes for you and your camera ;-). Karl

Fantastic colors and contrasts in this stark image of the Death Valley, Marc.

However, it is the high level of asthetics in this image that makes my day.

Thanks and regards.

Great shot. Looks like a painting.

Marvelous landscape with wonderful light-and-shadow management. Best regards.

Nice photo Marc, I like the ripples in the sand, side lighting and wind blowing sand off the top of the dunes, well done!

an akward sentence - but you did it again Marc! very atmospheric, nice tones ;-) greetings from Lukas

Who is the super-idiot that rated this masterpiece with a 4/3? These kind of "worms" should be banned from this site, otherwise the best photographers will leave it. 

the new travels & visions gallery on your site is just awesome.....35 new masterworks....no critiques from me just comments

Thanks, Thom.  Glad you took a look and enjoyed it.  There's more to come!

Just amazing MARC

it is all about the light. a masterpiece!

I really love this image. Absolutely amazing composition and light! For me this is one of your best pictures. Congratulations!

Marc, no matter how it is done, the final outcome is awesome!!!. It looks like melt gold which is cooling down (wind with sand particles). Regards.

Stunning image Marc.  I can almost hear the wind blowing as I look at this photo.  Looks like a pretty hostile environment for camera gear!  - Scott

Moments like these are what make photography, and sharing one's vision so awesome. Great shot Marc.

As for the ratings, I've given up on asking for them personally. Most people seem to buzz through and give everyone 4/4s just to gain the ability to add more photos themselves. It's a flawed system. 

Wonderful shot.

Such a beautiful shot Marc! Best Regards ~ Gary
