Photographer's Note
Being part of TE has taught me that we all want to dream of distant, mysterious & exotic places. And it is particularly desert that evokes our imagination very strongly. I have to say that desert was always my big passion and whenever I go back I love to play with its patterns, shapes and shadows again and again.
Here is another photo from my last year trip to Morocco. When posting some of the photos from there I feel stronger and stronger need to go back as those Dunes of Merzouga offer not only great sand dunes but also local people walking around in that fantastically blue and traditional dress. And least not last there few fantastic hotels with view straight at the sea of dunes.

This is why I love TE, discovering new lands through amasing photos, just like yours. Excellent tonal range and well placed subject, crushed by the imensity og the dunes.
I like it alot
take care

Hi Lucie,
Excellent one, the framing is outstanding to show dunes curvy graphism and provide a sensation of immensity, it makes the human caravan even tinier than it actually is and a pleasant warmth radiates from the whole view.
Have a nice day,

Lucie, the picture and composition is great, i know how you feel about going back, i have the same feeling.
There seems to be some noise in de dunes, or a kind of softness. Is that because of the high iso or because of a heavy crop?
Nevertheless, a highly impressive picture....i also have to post more ;-)
Groetjes, Henk

Very good presentation of the desert at its best! I like the light play here, with the Camel convoy which gives a good proportion of sizes here. The wave-like pattern draws the gaze deeper and deeper into the photo. The picture suffer from quite a lot of noise - which ISO setting did you used here? I guess this is a 100% crop, which can explain part of the noise here...In any case, an attractiev and classical presentation of the desert!

Magnifique cliché, haut en couleurs. Dans cette photo, on ressent bien ce que tu as voulu transmettre sur le rêve de désert, et cela m'attire de plus en plus.
J'aime beaucoup la forme verticale qui nous permet de voir une belle enfillade de dunes, et la caravane nous en montre la dimension, superbe.
Merci de nous faire partager ce bel endroit.

Great composition! The scale of the dunes are made very clear by the small size of the camels. The lighting is fabulous and turns the desert into an orange sea.
Beautiful work.

Stunning shot Lucie! This is a very strong composition, withe camel train making a perfect subject in front of that incredible sea of sand. The telephoto compression makes it really appear that they are in an ocean of sand, with the dunes appearing as waves. Great lighting, and I like the framing which cuts out the sky. Beautiful!

Hello Lucie,
A picture that is worth a million !
I've been to Merzouga, but one has to be extremely lucky to find a small caravan, with a background of dunes at when the sun is rising. Everywthing works well, the golden hue, the place, the background, and the elongated shadows.
Looks as if out of a great movie.

Neanmoins la photo a un peu de grain je trouve peut étre en compressant le fichier
Bravo c'est de toute facon une photo trés reussi..
