Back for bump and comment. Your subject is tiny and yet absolutely the focal point of the photo. To me this is all about contrast: big and small, light and dark, yellow and blue, hard and soft (mountains/sand).

Imaginary. I d like to see one with a wider lens too.
Post actions
It took me a while to notice the people in the shot... nice photo.
Post actions
Wow, this really tells a story, makes me feel small.

Great shot and a wonderful perspective.

Nice shot. I like the framing and color.

The person really adds perspective. Fantastic

Wow. Nice solo set of footprints.

Now that is a neat scene, with the mountains rising up behind the dunes that way.
Post actions
The shadow behind the man really makes him standout and the footprints add depth to your photograph. Nice shot

What a great sense of size portrayed. I almost missed the guy hiking - the footprints led me to him!
Post actions
Simply lovely. the tracks and the figure inthe center give a nice sense of scale.

Nice capture with great color and detail! I'd try a different crop, but that's just my taste.

Very dramatic landscape and the lone walker gives a sense of the immense size of those sand dunes. I like the detail of the footprints in the sand too.
Post actions
Wonderful image. Lovely contrasts, shades and play of light in those dunes. 8

Interpretation of Topic: Very interesting!

The main thing this has going for it in my opinion is the sense of scale but you've minimized that to some extent by going with a squarish composition. Perhaps that was just a compromise of having to deal with the limits DPC sets on dimensions but ideally I rather see this much wider or possibly taller to really get that sense of scale and pull me into the scene.

what a perfect shadow to have the man walking out on and he's illuminated, perfect, also like the contrast of the dunes on the background, the man in the image allows the viewer to know how big these dunes really are, he puts this image in perspective
Post actions
interesting shot !! wish I could see a little more of the background
Post actions
very simple
Post actions
I love the way the image gives us discreet layers of depth. Great shot.
Post actions
Beautifully composed shot, I like the different elevations of the dunes and mountain in the background. The footprints also work well.
Post actions
really give the viewer a feel for the vastness of this landscape
Post actions
Amazing, simply amazing. I've never seen anything like this in my life. I just can't imagine sand dunes that big. Wow.
Post actions
Spectacular place. The only thing that bothers me is the tourist looking back holding his/her purse. Give them a walking stick so we can feel that we have discovered this person on their long Dune Trek and not "hey go stand over there and I will take a picture of you." IMO
Post actions
The people give you a great perspective on the size of the dune!

Good display of the relationship between man and nature.

The footsteps add to a lovely scene

love the leading line of the footprints leading to the person and the rocky background is great
Post actions
Post actions
terrific abstract waves of color - love it!
Post actions
great image- personally i would have cloned out the top of the second person just to give the effect of being alone in those dunes. :)
Post actions
I love the way the footprints lead to the figure, and that the figure stands out against that shadow. The scenery itself is stunning.
Post actions
Great composition and leading line (well footprints).
Post actions
Well if one has the opportunity to photograph such a beautiful desert and manage to design a well balanced composition, one deserves high points.
Post actions
how is it that the middle of the photo is blurred yet the distance is in sharp focus...

Great dune shot. Nice leading footsteps lines going to the two people (it looks like) going over the dune. I might have missed them otherwise.
Post actions
Magnificent scene. Nice to see some people in it!
Post actions
Great use of the person to show the scale
Post actions
This one really draws you into it..... 7

Nice, wider would've been better

One of my favorites. There seem to be quite a few yellow/gold/blue images in this challenge, using the colors in ways I've never seen before. I love almost all of them, but this is one of my favorites because the subject is so well done as well. Bumping to a 9.
Post actions
That was a long walk to pose for you. lol I hope it wasn't hot that day. I love looking at dunes. Very nice.
Post actions
i think this would work better for me, if i could see more of the mountains in the background or none of them at all. as it is now, they are more of a distraction. I like the foot print trail and the little green poking from behind the dune
Post actions
This is great. A really interesting shot. The only thing I find lacking in this photo is the fact that the subject is stopped and looking at the camera, as opposed to 'trekking' through the dunes. Because of that, this comes off as more of a really, really beautiful snapshot than an artistic piece that is trying to make a statement.
Post actions
I really like the feel of this shot. The person gives an idea of the scale and the footprints lead you into the shot. Nice capture
Post actions
dunes of time.. or sands of time???
Post actions
Spectacular; footprints add a nice touch
Post actions
amazing! I love the lines, curves and the lighting. Your composition is great..where is this place? you are so lucky to have been there!
Post actions
Love the sharp lines of the sand dunes. The geometry is interesting here but the composition is a bit unbalanced.
Post actions
YES! Lovely. I hope this does well for you. Those footprints! Wonderful. I would have cloned out the spot to the left of the person.
Post actions
Great shot. Interesting tones captured here. I like the positioning of the man for scale. I wonder what this would look like if you were a little lower so the vegetation wasn't in the shot.
Post actions
Excellent use of people in the composition to suggest scale.
Post actions
Post actions
Cool shot. I love seeing the footsteps across the hills.
Post actions
I wish the shot was just a little tighter, making the people just a little bigger. Cool landscape though.
Post actions
Nice contrast between the hard mountains and the soft dunes. I love the people walking. Gives the perspective of how big those things are!
Post actions
WOW that is huge dunes, nice capture
Post actions
Love the contrast between dunes and then mountains in the background. The figure adds an all important sense of scale & I like the footprints leading out to him (her?). Leaves of the bush distract slightly
Post actions
Wow! Amazing perspective! Great POF! Love the colors! Definitely a 10!
Post actions
Is that a dog next to the guy, I like the flow of the sand dunes, nice.
Post actions
Post actions
I would walk ten thousand miles..lol what is the lil red dot to the let of the guy?
Post actions
A great subject although it all looks somewhat soft or OOF to me.
