It's a beautiful scene which brings out the scope of the impact of desert life. Its almost as if you can feel how arid and hot it is. The colors are gorgeous, clear and well focused. Nice job.

Fred,
A beautiful picture of this desert scene the massive Sand dune in the background & the Oasis of trees at it's base the bright sun above lighting up the whole scene .The dark shadows on the dunes & the ripples in the sand in the foreground all adding interest to the scene under a clear blue cloudless sky.
Artistic composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques 7 sharp focus.
Susan

Comment from Lasso the Moon
Love the contrast of such a large mountain against the open sky. The details of the lines in the sand are a rarity, especially focused on the scarcity of the trees in the desert. Well done!

Comment from michiganmike
A beautiful scene. I like the rippled sand in the foreground and the unlikely stand of trees. Are they quiver trees? The red sand is eye catching and the dunes are fantastic. Good luck in the contest.
