That is truly wonderful, congratulations!

This one I know! Well done and the ambiance is what really works for me here.

A stunning Kalahari landscape Margo. The composition is out of the top drawer (although a little more canvas on the right would be nice) and the lack of anything other than the eight wildebeest and and the magnificent kameeldoringboom (camel-thorn tree for international viewers) give this image a dream-like quality.

PS: I'm sure viewers would like to see the technical details, including camera and lens.

[Grady Weed]

Everything about this image screams The Africa, wilderness and top shelf image. I love the colors, dreamy like state the best. I would buy and hang this one in a minute.

[Rich Ikerd]

Wonderful image Margo. About the only thing that could improve it would be a little more room on the right.

[Steve Maxson]

Outstanding, as noted above! I only wish that the tree branches did not touch the frame on the right.

[Steve Wheeler]

Beautiful image Margo... I love the minimalist feel.

[Margo Coetzee]

Thank you everyone for the kind comments. I followed your advice and re-did the image allowing a little more space on the right (fortunately had a bit left as cropped about 5% off the original image). Thank you for pointing out that the tree was too close to the frame.

[Stephen Earle]

I just want to add my well done here Margo. I love the colour in this.

[Alfred Forns]

Just stunning Margo !!!! Agree on the little bit of room to the right Particularly like the captured feel !! Big Time Congrats !!!

[Valerio Tarone]

A stunning Kalahari image. See you to kalahari!

[Chris Ober]

Welcome to the site and I'll have to agree with everyone else...wonderful image. Simple and graphic. Only thing I can comment on would be maybe a little more space on the right so the tree doesn't look clipped. Well done!

[Robert Amoruso]

Margo,

This one caught my eye right in the thumbnail. A most excellent image. Great mood and composition. Very well scene. I hope you post the new crop - would like to see it.

[Van Hilliard]

Tremendous photo. The mood is captured beautifully and that color certainly speaks "sandstorm". I've only seen one. This is what I remember. Perfectly done.

[Margo Coetzee]

Thank you everyone for your kind comments.

[Grace Scalzo]

May I add my congrats as well. Fine work!

[Cindy Cone]

Another big congrats! Outstanding image.

[Loukie Viljoen]

Margo well done I like the composition, go for it.

[Margo Coetzee]

Thanks once again for all taking the time to look and comment.

[Pietro Luraschi]

amazing. I am impressed by this picture.
the colours the tree, everything is perfect. a bit of room on the right? true, would have been better, but we are talking of a small small detail that does not reduce the value of the image
