M&N - 2nd HM

Abdulmajeed, the colours and shapes of the dunes are downright fantastic
the element of man adds the sense of scale... somehow it would be more dramatic if that person was doing s.th. other than sitting but that is obviously beyond your control...

where is this if I may ask?

This is really a nice dunescape. You handled the lighting and textures very well and the sense of depth created by the solitary human makes it a very compelling image.

Spectacular dune tones, shades, and composition. I love the photographer in the foreground for awe and scale. Perhaps better if s/he'd been standing and tripod more evident, but works as is. Like the ridgeline s/he is on as a foreground horizon, as well as the slope leading up from the person across the comp.

The flowing shapes and shades of the dunes make a fantastic comp. The photographer at work adds a nice perspective.

Beautiful image Abdulmajeed. I really like the sense of scale you achieved by including the person in the scene. No nits from me.

Simple, beautiful, and awe inspiring.

I can only ditto what has already been said. Excellent!

Beautiful light. The sense of scaled conveyed is awesome.

Excellent shot!

Very effective conveying the scale of the dunes Abdulmajeed. Wonderful range of tones, textures, and color.

Amazing photograph and the person adds alot in showing the sense of scale.

One of the best desert dune images I have ever seen. The golden tones are luscious; the light seems to be dancing joyfully among the ridges, crests and valleys. A stunning photograph. Having the photographer in the photo adds a compelling sense of scale.

How did I miss this one? Superb image, the photographer placed near the bottom gives the perfect perspective of the bigness of the scene. Congrats on the Weekly Pick!

Wow! This is incredible! The warmth and quality of light is spectacular, and the photographer adds a great sense of scale.

Stunning colorsd and layers of the dunes!
Congrats on an excellent EP!
