Untitled

seen from the highest point of the 300m dunes in hazy morning light.

would you crop the picture at the bottom?

Beautiful image. I love the curves and the shadows. Nicely done. Dan

I tried cropping bottom and yes I liked it better cropped. Beautiful image either way

I tried a more severe crop than that done by Ronald, and while I like it (and Ronald's crop), I still like the original the best. What is working for me is the range of sharp detail in the foreground to the hazy loss of detail in the background. My crop removed some of this range, and therefore I don't think my crop is an improvement.

very nice picture.

Indeed it's like a painting, the softness of the light has been used superbly, and the detail ands texture on the sand. A tremendous landscape, no doubt about it.

thank you for the comments, in particular ronald and steven for their suggestions. i fully agree with steven that cropping the lower part makes the picture somehow look less interesting

wauhhh, just amazing!

A beauty of nature,one of the nest I saw of the sands. very well framed and exposed. I like the original.

Terrific visual effect.

The flowing dune takes you right into the image and makes such a nice trail for the eye to follow. The misty background helps not only show the depth but the fine detail in the foreground . I like this version best with the longer lead in. A beautiful image, Dieter!
