Dunes Pano

This was a grab shot as we drove along the road to Sossusvlei in the early morning. It was also extremely windy with a very cold, easterly wind blowing.

f8
ISO 400
HH, CP used, cropped to pano, luminosity mask, levels, curves, LCE, selective color adjustments, Hougaard Malan action and sharpened in CS5.

C&C welcome and appreciated. Thanks,

Classic. Classy. Love it. I wouldn't even touch the dark shadow on the dune as the contrast adds a nice edge to the scene.

Hi Rachel,
I like the pano image you have shared with us and it creates a need for me to head to Sossusvlei soon. It has been too long since I was last there. I agree with Andrew, those trees are far and a good walk away.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes,
Mark.
