One of the many dunes located in the Sahara desert in Libya. I thought this particular shot worked well in b&w. Any feed back would be appreciated.
Taken with D300, 12 – 24mm f/4.0 at 12mm, ISO 200, f/13, 1/60.

    G’day Craig,

    I think the B&W works very well on this image.
    The tonal range and contrast not only add mood to the scene but also strongly enhance the animal tracks and give the image a sense of the abstract.
    Both work for me but I prefer this for the extra detail and unique result.

    Definatly works better as the B&W. the little animal tracks lead you through the image perfectly.
    The dune detail is amazing and the clouds complete the image. OUTSTANDING and an instant favourite

    This works so well in mono… not sure which version I like better. This one is sooooo dramtic!

  • Christine Till  @    CT-Graphics

    I love it in color, but the B&W blows me away. It’s abstract and very powerful.
    There’s so much to explore in it.
    Excellent work, Craig.
