Excellent work Michael. You got some great images in Egypt and this is another one! The colours and compo are great. The light is wonderful and all the contrasts work very well together. The colour and texture in the rocks are really nice. Positioning the guy on the right gives a nice sense of scale. How many images did you put together to get this? Well done!

Amazing! Did you notice that this is a petrified dragon? Look for the head on the right.

Michael:

I thin this is technically very well done, expecially the pand stitching. It is not evident at all.

I used to travel a bit with geologists who took slides to illustrate lectures. They would be envious.

Best wishes...

Nothing to add, I also thought of a draggon on the first view. Top Shot!!!!

I see the dragon too! Lovely interesting composition. Thanks for the explanation. Love the colors and the person does give a nice sense of scale.

Great Shot; I like the clearness of the rocks; the sand could be a little more sharp.

Very intense colours, well chosen subject. Not quite sure about the human, and perhaps I would have cropped the sand a bit more to focus on the rocks.
