The Erg Chebbi-desert in Morocco is an absolute picture-perfect spot! The red sand, the camels, the nomads in blue...

Excellent capture of time and place. The desert can be a challenging place to find the correct exposure.....you did it. Incredible colors! I am very envious of this shooting location.
Cheers!

Hi Rik,
Welcome to TE and what a choice of pictures as a starter. Excellent POV, great colours, and extremely sharp. I hope you have more to share. Perhaps you will also include some of the Machu Picchu.
Regards,
Paul

but where is the road? *g* superb capture, love the red tones of the endless sand dunes and the blue
nomad as a wonderful contrast. i guess i would be nit-picking if i said i would have tried to clone
away the rope from this camel to the next. well done & welcome to TE, thor.

Dag Rik,
Mooie heldere kleuren en de kameel en zijn begeleider schitterend geprfileerd tegen de achtergrond.
Groetjes,
Paul

in particular I love the burning sand tones and the pleasant contrast with the blu dresses...

Welcome to TE, Rik!
Excellent first post, perfect composition and truly amazing colour. It's also great that you captured the moment of the legs synchronizing each other.

Hi, Rik,

Yes, I concur with other critiquers -- a terrific photo! Welcome to TE!!

The overall effect of the composition and especially the colors are indeed nice. (The extra rope hanging out of the frame is a small problem.)

I especially like that you also have the fine details resolved, such as the sand lifted under the step of the man and the texture of the fur on the camel's neck.

Kudos!
