Humbled

great shot !

Love it, Love it, Love it! An instant fave. I hope you keep trying new stuff.

wow … well titled, beautiful tones, a special shot

Wonderful light creating beautiful sand ripples. :)

I’ve given up counting how many arrows your poor overused bow must have now Paul! This is truly magnificent. It’s like you’ve taken the TTT, gone back to the book, scrapped everything and rewritten the manual. I am liking these new ENTWTBTTT? (Excellent new tones. Will they be Trademark Tuppers Tones?) very much indeed.

What I really love (a word that gets banded about in these comment boxes but I mean it more sincerely here than usual) is the darkness of the blue sky with perfect flared sun. The textures of the sand are absolutely incredible, the way they come out of the dark and into the light, showcasing off the impressions so well.

Then the human interest just adds scale, focus and subject.

Blinding, sheer brilliance Paul.

Thank you SO much Stuart.. that just really made my day.
I must admit I was really pleased with this and these new tones that I came across put a smile on my face when I was developing this! You know when you get an image that you can’t wait to show off… well I tried countless times to get this uploaded when I finished it last night, each time my crappy connection timing out! Very frustrating!
Thanks again… :-)

Amazing shot, your lighting and perspective are spot on. Those footprints are such great leading lines but also give a sense of solitude…only one set of prints.
Superb work!

Paul – you are making me quite jealous! This, as well as the other recent photos where you have been trying something new makes me wish for my time outside with my camera. All I can say is keep going – keep experimenting. And to have that comment from Stuart above – one of the best photographers on RB that I’ve seen – is something else!!

KeeeeeeeRaCCK!!!!

Scuse me while I pick my jaw up off the floor….

This is simply superb Paul, an instant fave…the exposure and lighting are excellent, and love the footprints leading your eye into the shot to the main subject climbing the dune. Fantastic!

Wonderful work ..jeez this is good !!

This is really, really, really good. The dark tones are amazing here. I love the textures in the sand especially. I went to the white sands once in New Mexico and I never got to slide down it because I got ill as soon as I got there. I have to make another attempt at it again. This picture here is a great reminder.

Beautiful work, Paul. Love that you’ve gotten such awesome detail even when pointing directly into the sun! The light and shade on the dunes is gorgeous.

What can we say in front of such beauty! This looks really perfect to me. Great light, great angle…Wonderful

Thanks again Yasmina for such an inspiring comment! Very much appreciated! :-)

Wow!!!! Stunning!!!

What a wonderful shot.

Desolately beautiful and painfully peaceful
