Sand Dunes(MingSha Hill)<br><A HREF="http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo? photo_id=3815767">Another image of "Mingsha" Hill </A>

Thanks for viewing & comments.

Another more close up view of the desert. Thanks for your feedback.

 

Hi Cherlyn, did you really go across the desert? Looks very stark and forboding. Gul is now in Tibet and he should be seeing similar views like this but the temperature is -10C. Not a very good time to go.

 

Did you have a good time at the Silk route?

Alec, don't think he can see desert view in Tibet as I have been there before too. But he will see beautiful lakes & snow mountains. Indeed too cold to go Tibet now. Usually the last tour to go there is around Nov, which is the month that I go & we are the last group to embark to Tibet then. Cold + high altitute sickness is not easy to endure. Hope he has a nice time there.

The light brings out the desert shapes and colour. Looks as though it was an interesting experience!

Magnifico encuadre y perfecto color , un cordial saludo Cherlyn.

Great layers & excellent light Cherlyn!!! Best regards.

Cherlyn,You offer a beautiful look into the dunes.I like how the light seem to blow through the the dunes,and how the far away hill is centered in between

A beautiful view of the desert - not at all like the deserts I'm accustomed to seeing. The bright and dark spots add interest though the photo needs a bit of a focal point. Love the photo - thanks for posting. Regards.

Its VERY impressive, yet it looks like as the lighting was pushed. Did you?

Beautiful deceptive look of desert.

You are very sharp, DP. Yes I use the lighting effect in the filter gallery . Otherwise the whole image looks very flat.

Splendid study on light, Cherlyn. The sun is playing hide and seek enhancing the dunes.

This one glows as if it heals.

 

Have a great 2006 Cherlyn,sally

A beautiful light effect. Love the tone very much. Brilliant light work!!! may be by PS. Is it?

lovely capture of glowing sand ..

 

Best wishes for the coming new year .

I can't decide that it is a normal or superb photo. it is very nice , also very simple. I just know that the light is wonderful on the sand.

 

And I have a question from members and you:

I think if anyone else(an unknown artist) had taken this photo, it might be a low rated photo. I say this because I have seen . but I saw that your's is about 6. isn't it because your viewers know you and rate your works based on your other works?

 

I don't mean you or your photo and I don't want to upset you, I mean photos and photographers in photoNet. I mean that the rates we gain are based on the past.

 

Am I right ? or not.

 

at the end I apologize if I said anything rude, and merry christmas again.

Mohsen, I can't answer for other members but I'll tell you how I view photos. I don't rate photos that I personally feel that I don't like or somehting is lacking(but I would leave a comment on what I think can be improved or what I don't like ) for those whom I know. For those that I don't know I would just skip or leave behind a comment of ways of improvement but I won't give them low ratings. I find that it will discourage this people.

 

I can only say that Photo net is a big family of friends & we would like to encourage each other to do better. If you rate them low or give very bad comments, it will lower their morales & who knows, they might quit from photo net. I feel bad/sad when I see some photographers asking "WHY" low ratings without a single comment. No one bothers to tell them what's wrong with their photo. They just rated low & go.

 

For me, I have learnt a lot here. My dear PN friends try to correct & improve my photos by giving me suggestions & teaching me how to do them. I know you have been following my works & I appreciate your support.

 

Not to worry, I don't feel offended. Happy New Year to you.

Cherlyn, the light here is the main actor, and is accentuating the folds of the sand dunes. nice image. I like the other one a bit beter because the people and camels are adding a lot to the dunes. Pnina

Thanks cherlyn for the answer. waiting for your nice works every day.

of course the light is source of attraction here and u have done it quite fine cherlyn.

Regards
