Kalahari Dune Palette

[Morkel Erasmus]

I was cleaning up some images from our December 2014 trip to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park (Kalahari Desert).
I captured this "vertorama" (horizontal images stacked vertically for a panorama) from the window of my vehicle driving over the red dune fields late one afternoon as a storm was building up.

Wonderful sky and light on the desert ground , I do wish you could have gotten more of the brush into the frame in the LRC.

I like that sky too morkel..! It has lots of depth and a bit of menace coming in from the right. The ground looks like it might have had recent rain.. Not sure i can add a lot more..

The menacing sky is key here for me. It gives the image depth, builds interest, adds drama and pulls the viewer in. I like these types of images. I wondering what a B&W would do for this. Good image here Morkel.

Lovely scene Morkel...do love the approaching storm.

my only nitpick is the lower right shadow which competes with the dark clouds above and seems out of place...
