Just plain terrific.

Super., love the two figures, just makes it. Alistair

I especially appreciate the textural elements of the tread and the granular sand itself. They contrast so well with the smooth, unbroken blue of that sky. The indistinct figures inject a note of mystery. Very nicely done!

I'm always interested in the aliens things and this one looks like two aliens live some tracks and walk away. Scene in the whole, looks unearthly and this is a charm of this picture, for Me.

Thank you for your kind comments!
This is one of a series of blind shots at ground level (no, I was not laying in this case). Live view not helped me in any way because it was a very bright day; just set the AF to the point in the left and trust in my good luck: I missed the E-3 and its LCD and its new AF pattern... time to start to feed my "cookies pot" with some euros! endika

Right on theme Endika! The tracks and the texture of the grain is very good. The two people far away completes the composition. Well done.
Guest 13-Jan-2008 05:44
it's as though the two figures are walking away from whatever produced the tread...
like starting a new life, or moving on..

Yes, I agree with Shirley, it is time to find some color. Tread applies to the walkers and the sand sculpture
oh, I can see my new image but can I produce?
Shirley Haden13-Jan-2008 03:22
This one is setting the bar for me. It's creative and so well executed. The title you chose is perfect too. I hope I can think of something half so nice!

Wow! I can't figure out why this is so effective. It is so simple but really sings a song. Just amazing Endika!

One word: Superb.
Did you lay down in the sand to get this one?
Also shows you don't need a macro lens or a long one to get the shallow depth of field.

Wonderful and enigmatic Endika!
