Nice shot.

And I will add, that the thumbnail does not quite do the full-screen view quite the justice deserved. Image appears to be a tad gamma sensitive. So, by all means ... open her up. :o)

Caveats?

If I may be bold ... looking the at the edges (rocks, paths/tracks in the sand, etc.) ... contrast is a little sharp. So ... perhaps, dial back the sharpening ... some.

Better yet, and I am unsure if this is the case ... turn off your in-camera sharpening if that is an option for you.

Much more control handed over to you, if you were to do so.

That said, nit picking at best on my part. Sincerely.


I really like this one. Nice converging lines, good good composition ... wonderfully natural colour to this expansive scene. Very good technical control all around.

Thanks for sharing this one with us. :o)


p.s. For your consideration then, from cambridgeincolour.com:

Judging by the tyre-tracks, it seems a popular place for off-roaders. Not difficult to see why. Fabulous shot, Frank.

Frank - Looking at this desolate terrain, it is understandable why it is uninhabited. A real nice composition. Thad

Boy in full view this is a fabulous capture & looks like a paradise for 4 wheelers. As Joanie says very barron but gorgeous at the same time.

It has snowed some today and it's bloody cold, -20C wind chill.

The fresh tracks are telling your story...and I hope that was two motorcycles that straddled that rock! The sky reaches down, almost forbidding. Looks like it rained recently and will again. Nice composition.

Stunning capture, Frank! I would agree with Les on the sharpening aspect on the foreground sand, however, my eyes are drawn most to the unknown and anticipated view of what lies just over that sand mound (mid right), and the colour contrast of the tall grasses!
