Spectacular composition. The constrast of sky and sand, light and shadow, flat and curvilinear is wonderful. Beautiful.

Very nice photo with great color, interesting subjects and a great note too. Amazing that the wood has not rotten in 800 years! Here in the Pacific Northwest of USA we get so much rain wood can rot within just 5 years. Large logs take much longer, but pressure treated fence posts rot quite readily. I am sure the lack of moisture in this scene has contributed to the longevity of the dead trees.

Really striking! One of the few occasions where the focus in the middle makes sense - good thing are not tied down by "rules". Sharp contrasty colours adds to the mood. Good quality and sharpness. I like it.

Namibia is perhaps one of the very few places that surpasses american southwest desert in desolation, nevertheless they are teeming with life hard to observe by the untrained eye ... Outstanding composition ! Is it Kalahari ?
How have I missed seeing your images saskia they all look very god this one for me stood out, this is a clasic Namib desert shot, I think it would of been my 1st guess of place.
A beautifully clear almost minimalist scene you have captured, so simple in it's lines would make a great poster. TFS

Great shot of Deadvlei - I got there in the end but was too exhausted to make much of the place. Photographs just don't give the full story of what has to be done to caprture the image. Excellent shot.

Nice shot. You have captured the feeling of desolation and lonelines very well.
The tree is a tad to centred.
Well done and TFS
