Beautiful work with impressive lighting, Volker!

Thanks for leaving notes. Does the combination of a landscape scene

and a human silhouette work here or not? Are there too dark elements,

or are the contrasts of lights OK overall?

i like very much the black silhouette alone on the sand.... great red on the sky. good work!

thank for your kind words

I personally love landscapes with a small human element somewhere in it...adds to the scale and allows the viewer to place themselves inside of the image.  The colors in this photo are spectacular, and the distant rock formations look almost other-worldly.  The only criticism is regarding the stance of the person, something that you can't do anything about (other than perhaps wait for them to get into a different position, assuming they do so)...the wide stance and the downward tilt of the head makes me think they've decided to relieve themselves while taking in a beautiful sunset. :-)  Again, a very small point, but that did catch my eye.

Hi dear Volker,

Very nice POV,romantic tones and well taken.

Take care.

Best regards(Bobby).
