shadowed sand dune by solita17

Papi11on: Told you it was a winner! Congrats, Mary on capturing a real stunner that perfectly illustrates shadows in a novel and eye catching way. Well done, you! Hope hubby is on the mend.

Papi11on: Stunning capture, Mary! Love the bird-like shadow created by the groynes in the foreground, and those blue/yellow duotones give your image the real wow factor. A winner!!

A Morrocan in Marrakesh by RAPH

purmusic: Happy New Year, Raphael.

Best wishes for the upcoming year to you and yours.


Now then, your image here..

Striking.

Caveats?

Hope you don't mind, and here is the image worth my next thousand words:

"A Morrocan in Marrakesh" - Reworked

The main point was the crop.


The additional editing/post processing (a tutorial by philcUK, namely; "Faking the HDR thing...") provided a nice assist in bringing out a lil' more detail and increasing the contrast/deepening the shadows.

Creative food for thought, and..


Nice shot.

In the shadows by coram9

Nikoneer: Minimalism speaks volumes. Soft and elegant work, Chris. I knew it was yours from just the thumbnail.

-Nik

za4em9: Wow! this one is quite interesting: I like the amount of background detail you left in: adds enough interest to the image to generate an air of mystery. And the shroomies are glowing softly and perfectly.
