Love your sand shots. Almost abstract. Fantastic. Great colors. Definitely eye candy.

Hi Hugo ... I dived into your portfolio and the sand I found here. All three in this series are good, but this one is my absolute favourite because of the stronger shadows/shapes compared to I; version II is the one I prefer the least ...
A very very elegant work ... Love the simplicity here!

Hi Lucasz, I noticed you tried to reply a couple of times.... UF filters external links automatically, untill a member of the staff approves the comment. In most cases, this takes a while. Thanks, though!
Cheers,
Hugo

Hi Lukasz, Too true. That's the good thing about photography; those rules do not always apply, and even breaking them serves a purpose; it can very well take an image out of the ordinary.... Rules are to be broken, or at least to be bent, if needed.
Cheers,
Hugo

Hi Hugo, thanks for your reply and interesting concept;
I agree that there must (should) be a dominant object in the shot - usually this is the object the photographer wants to emphasize in his/her work; it is also wonderful that the other objects in the picture create line(s) which leads the viewer to the dominant object and allow to concentrate on it and your picture above (the main at the top) is a good example of such pictures (IMHO the main object is the peak of the dunes far in the background and the edge leads the viewer's eyes in lovely way there),
but
there are some pictures which does not comply with the above rules; I will upload one soon
I am just wondering what will you think about it
regards
Lukasz

LOL! Thanks Lukasz, this time the sky is natural... No PS corrections here...:) The reason I pasted the link to this one, is that I think the simple lines work as a remote and deserted image, but when the lines and slopes increase in complexity the image requires a more predominant subject to grab and hold the viewers attention, instead of cjust reating a cluttered and subject-ridden image. see attached.
Thanks for your time and constructive comment... Very much appreciated. Had a brief look at your portfolio, and I will definately take a closer look soon! Very, very impressive!
Cheers,
Hugo

Yes, this one is excellent - like the edges of the dunes here as well as their colors;
great shot (but the sky seems unnatural once again :-))

EXCELLENT Hugo!
This photograph is just spectacular! Couldn't possible be better if you tried. A 2 toned beauty for sure! Lovely composition, with both sharp and soft curves. Very nice.
Gorgeous warm tones on the sun side, with shadow with a bluish cast. PERFECT!
This truly is one of the nicer formations I've seen!
I've never had the pleasure of photographing dunes, and I love them so.
Wonderful image, kind of a natural abstract!
Lori :)

Let's back up and, instead of "what have you done lately", what did you do a couple months ago? This is just a knockout graphic, stunning and powerful, the kind I would like to make if I had the opportunity. You had the opportunity and capitalised on it. Fine differentiation of tones without going totally black.

Wouw! Heel mooi met licht net na zonsopgang of net voor zonsondergang. Ik ga in het najaar naar Namibie, ik hoop met zulk materiaal terug te komen...

Deze vind ik persoonlijk stukken beter dan diegene waar je in je intro-verhaaltje een link naar geeft. Het contrast is hier hoger, de belichting interessanter en de lijnen beter voor de compositie. Met name dat contrast is heel belangrijk om die lijn scherp te krijgen en het kleurverloop van donker voor naar 'warm' zandkleurig achter is erg gaaf. Deze heeft duidelijk mijn voorkeur, goed gedaan.

Just another splendid photo, I like your idea of the tryptich, even if it is sometimes difficult to comment all the photos, please excuse me if it happens.
I reply to your comment:
I?m not really conservative, I like the news and the modern things, but if you read the Mary Bell comment, you will understand the meaning of my message.
Yes, more space would be perfect, the image is too cropped, I wanted to remove some distracting elements, I put here the original resized, so you can see and tell me if I made the right choice. The contrast depends on two factors, the place was in shade and I am not yet able to convert in B/W as I would like, I?m still learning!!! ;))
PS: never forget your polarizer!!! it is the first thing I carry with me when I go to take some shots, after my cigarettes of course ;))
Bye Max

I like this one and the first - they have two very different moods - the middle one doesn't quite reach either mood - sort of a middle ground - which is not necessarily bad in a tryptich.
I like the curve of this one and the colors are quite appealing...
