    Hi Horacio and welcome to the forum. Beautiful light with the dune ripples acting as leading lines.Curvature noted on the horizon but to be expected shooting at such a wide angle. I was playing with the composition and ended up liking it as presented. Well handled!

    Stunning, Horacio.

    The leading lines, as Dave mentioned, the texture, and the shadows combine to make this quite striking. Great work.

    Very nice lines that lead the viewers eyes thru the entire frame and the side lighting adds nice texture and depth to the image I only wish that the tower at the top of the frame was not waiting at the end of the visual journey

    Thank you Dave, Lance and Don; I have wait for the right light for about one hour and shoot this just few minutes before the sunset, when the sun paints the dunes with a soft red light.

    What do you think about the curvature of the horizon, I should to fix it?

    Hi Horacio, I don't think it's critical but would help...

    Hi Horacio,
    Sweet light as noted above. I would eliminate the structure (tower) in the distance if it was mine....but still not a big deal. I'm OK with the curvature but still feel you need a bit of CW rotation as the space on either side is not equal when you touch the horizon. All easy fixes but the composition and light in this is very well done!

    I don't have much more to add to the above except to say you patience paid off. That is what it is all about.
