Great surreal image.
I think it's the presence of the stalk of grass that make the difference from a simple two-tones photo to a great-force image.

I think the series you've done from this place is really awesome. But this one is the best so far for me, it's got an artistic approach that i really like, and it's very elegant. Excellent. Congrats.

........the dark and the light with just a hint of life. This is truly excellent Lukasz. The composition is perfect, ie more light than dark and the placement of the grass blade just right. This is excellent in stark B&W. Into my favorites! Cheers. Craig

Hi Hugo,
thank for your deep comment. I think that this lone stalk of grass is the essence of this shot and it really grabbed my attention when I was about to take this shot. I used Agfa Scala in that moment, the sky was overclouded and there was sun from time to time. I was not interested in the sky, so I decided to use red filter (the strongest one) to darken the sky and to emphasize the grass. Unfortunately it also leaded to lost the most of the details on the sand. Anyway, I am satisfied with the result :-)
You are right that I posted one color shot with dune and sky as well. I removed it cause I found that that shot has no point to grab the attention and the texture of the sand is not quite effective (the DOF was limited), so IMHO it was not enough to brake the rules :-).
Best regards
Lukasz

Hi Lukasz, In light of our earlier discussion, this one illustrates your idea of breaking the rules very well, although I do think the lone stalk of grass does manage to grab (and hold) the viewers attention.
On a more subjective note, I do think the tones in this one are rather dark; the pitch black sky is ridden of any gradient, which one would expect there, as well as the dune itself, which could use some more texture. This could pass as a two dimensional image. On the other hand, this "minimalistic" approach does create a very barren and lifeless atmosphere, which fits with the characteristics of the desert.
On a side line, I thought you posted a similar shot in colour too... I think that one fits the philosophy of breaking the rules even stronger, as it is still recognisable as a sand dune, with some very intriguing patterns, as well as a close fit with the other one.
Cheers,
Hugo

Supurb! The dune reminds me of a pregnant belly, with the grass growing out of the bellybutton! This must look great printed large.
