    The NamibRand Nature Reserve lies on the border of the Kalahari desert and the Namib desert. It's a place of immense open spaces and immense beauty. I long to walk these dunes again!

    Hi Morkel

    Nice scene well composed and well processed as well I think. Purists might object to the tracks but they form a nice lead for me, and the soft pastel pallet is beautiful. I too would love to follow you through this sort of country..

    It is a beautiful image with beautiful soft light and colors. The leading line road adds to the composition.

    This image gives me the feeling of being in Africa, I don't think you can ask anything more from a landscape image.

    Peaceful image, Morkel. I can imagine the quite stillness you must have experienced while capturing this scene. The soft light is wonderful.

    Love this kind of landscape. to the purist the road isn't exactly a curve, but that's less important. My guidelines say to use iso lowest as possible, why 560 iso?
