Definitely less minimalist than the other one, this image of Etosha Pan,was taken in the far more scenic area along the aptly named Pans Edge Drive.
EOS 1D MkIV
24-105 mm F4 at 25 mm
F7.1
ISO 800
1/6400
I must really remember to reduce my ISO for shots like this :biggrin:

I like the gradient in the sky Ken and the fg detail. Coming from the plains, I also like the sense of space. I'd enjoy this image printed large on my wall.

Coming from the land of marshes, liveoaks and wide expanses of forest, I'd like a little more maximum in my minimalists. :biggrin: Actually, this is a great deal like the marshes of Glynn South of me; wide expanses of salt marsh and sky, and little else.

My reaction to this and your previous post are very interesting (at least to me, :wink:). The extra grasses at the bottom and the bit of hillside on the left put this firmly in the "reality" category. As such, this is clearly a desolate region, but it doesn't feel nearly as desolate as your previous post and that has me feeling there's too much sky here. Yes, this could be a prairie sky from the western USA or a salt marsh from the coasts, but it leaves me wishing for clouds in the sky.

After looking at your pervious image, I think I prefer it to this one. I think the foreground vegetation takes something away from the expansiveness. This is one of those images where you can explore different crops.
