Bonsoir Jean
Un superbe cliché qui a tout de suite attiré mon attention. Je suis d'autant plus intéressée car c'est ma prochaine destination dans quelques semaines.
Merci pour cette belle image et bonne soirée.

I think the composition is fantastic- similar scenes often come out looking all the same and without strong visual pulls- but that is not the case here. I was going to suggest that you intensify the colors a bit, but on second thought I feel like this slightly washed out, sun-bleached state is the most true to your surroundings. At any rate- I love it, you have done a lovely job of capturing it.

Une vue qui montre bien l'immensité aride du paysage.
Belles couleurs naturelles et une bonne composition avec la route qui mène l'oeil au loin...
Bonne soirée,

Hi, Jean,

The sun angle works perfectly here, low and at about 90° to our line of sight. The resulting illumination of the short grasses provides this luminous pale yellow carpet over most of the land surface. In the distance, as the details fade, it almost looks aqueous. The "islands" of brown rock emerge impressively from this sea.

The road guides the viewer nicely into the middle of the scene and then deposits us and departs to other purposes.

Regards,
- William

Quel bel endroit ! Tu nous fais rêver ;-)
C'est une belle composition avec la route qui sinue et mène le regard vers ces montagnes rocheuses. J'aime beaucoup le contraste et les herbes si jaunes...
Bonne journée,
Anna

Bonsoir Jean

The meandering road provides superb lead in lines, to this pre Kalahari desert landscape. Superb colour, sharpness & framing. Bon Vendredi!

HI Jean,
A great landscape shot, Jean! I really like how the curved and winding roadway leads us through this place. Nice details and excellent colors, depth, and clarity. TFS. Gerald

Ciao Jean Saint,
spectacular landscape, the road with these curves creates a beautiful movement of the image, splendid the mountains in BG.

Bonjour Jean,
J'aime beaucoup ces teintes au sol, elles changent un peu des dunes orangées que l'on l'habitude de voir sur les photos de ce pays aux mille facettes.
Un POV qui donne une excellente profondeur.

Amitié.
Daniel.

Hello Jean,

I admire the hostile looking landscape!
The colours all scream dry dry, only broken by the road winding through the scene...
The rugged mountains are breaking the monotony of the plains, nicely lit by the low sun!

Greetings,

Salut Jean,
Je vois que tu reviens de Namibie... un rêve pour la plupart d'entre nous! Et apparemment çà vaut le déplacement! Ici la route entraine le regard vers ces magnifiques montagnes en toile de fond... Les couleurs sont superbes.
Amitiés
Laurent

Indeed great landschape. The contrast of colors and textures between the soft fg and the amazing mountains at the bg is wonderful. Like the composition using the road to lead the eye to the bg.
Best regards
KIKs

Jean, your work in Namibia is awesome, this shot shows the road to tomorrow it seems, you can see at leat that far... Great color and detail, a superb post.

Greg

Well, you have got my Namibian wife homesick - which is a sign of a great photo: she normally looks at Namibian photos and just gets annoyed that the photographer hasn't managed to capture the spirit of the country.

It is a fantastic photo - but sometimes the cost of progress is that our fantastic photos could have been even better if we had been there 4 or 5 years before: the road has only been recently tarred and I suspect the self-same photo, but with a dirt road, would have been even better.

Congratulations on really getting the spirit of this great country in your Namibia portfolio.

Bonjour Jean - I've been looking through your Namibia shots again, this one (taken on the road to Sossusvlei I think?) shows off the soft colours of the morning very beautifully and conveys that feeling of a 'never-ending'landscape very well. Nice work Warm regards rosemary
