Just returned from this year's Namibia Untamed workshop. This is Kah Kit looking around for a good composition. The rock arch is the same one as in his Moonlight and Monoliths shot.

Will post more later - my taxi to the airport leaves in an hour for the Wild Brown Bears workshop in Finland; if only we lived on Mercury - we'd have 58 Earth days in a day.

Just a beautiful image! Great exposure and flare control. Absolutely captures the feeling of being there (as far as I can tell). Feels like I could walk on over and join Kah Kit for some wonderful landscape shooting. Top notch as always Marcel!

Is this a single image or a blend? If single you did a great job controlling the exposure! The sunstar is a great addition.

I like it, the sunstar is a nice bonus, and you did a great job on the exposure

I love how the sunstar peeks through the rock. Nice job.

..but then you would have to spend 34 hours a day (instead of 14) in a bear hide!! Haha. This is a fantastic shot, Marsel. Great job on the exposure and sunstar. This is a familiar sight. If I could change one minor thing, it would be to amputate the rock from his foot. Beautiful

Awesome scene and capture. I'm amazed how much detail and lightness in the shadow areas.

Congrats on the EP, and a perfect comp and moments. The sunstar adds a great deal to the shot.
