I really appreciated the colours on some of the other pieces of your series, which makes this photo all the more interesting.

Because it depicts pretty much the same object, and is similarly composed as the vibrant colour pieces (which I think have colour as their main strength), it would then at first seem odd to imagine the photo in black & white, yet it works really well, but for completely different reasons than the others:

This piece has a beautiful contrast on both sides of the dune, stretching all the way out of focus, which makes me appreciate the composition of the shot.
The 'lack' of colours now, gives the piece a feeling of vast emptiness, only interupted by the winds of sand, an impression I didn't register on the others. So it boils down to; great work before and after the shot. I'm impressed how two shots of basicly the same thing conveys completely different feelings.

I like this series, and hope to see more

Thank you so very for taking the time to write such a great review dear!

Even though this is part of the same series as the others, I'm trying to give this piece a silent and frozen "2001: A Space Odyssey" feel, where as you said the others had a more lively and colorful attitude!

wow, i am even more amazed! This looks so intense in black and white! i usually don't like b & w photography because i am a color addict, but what makes this shot special it' precisely that, the dark makes it so intense and deep! i love it!

hey there buddy, you asked for my opinion..and im going to give you my blunt opinion about this shot..

this is a great shot overall, monochrome helps to make its abstractism stand out and the feeling of vast emptiness is greatly emphasized. although i do feel that this shot has alot of motion and filled with desert anguish, and i would love to see it in Colors.

i mean [link] makes me hold my breath as i stare into this Arabian dragon of golden sands, the contrast of blue and gold is making it a picture worth hanging in a gallery.

finally; i cannot but say that im truly impressed and stunned by the amount of creativity this series contains, you have delivered. Masha'Alla, as soon as i get my premium membership, this is going to be one of the first features i will do

Best of Luck, Dear Old Man

hmm..it guess it delivered the sensations perfectly, i have always imagined desert as the cruelest place ever, viewing this series have gave me a profound sense of the same cruelty mixed with alot of Anguish and force. Well done is all i have to say

This continues the series in a powerful way. The stillness on the left, the motion on the right, the darkness in between, and the sky, which seems oppressive. A great shot with a lot of feeling.
