Very nice! I feel like the shrub on the bottom creates a bit of tension as it’s so close to the edge. Maybe a taller pano that leaves more room on the bottom, or a skinnier one that crops it out might work even better.

Thank you! I agree it would be more ideal if there was a bit more sand below the bottom bush, and I was able just now to extend it down just a bit and I updated the image, but can’t go further due to a bunch of scraggly brush below it that I do not want. I did try cropping the bush out but for what I want in this composition that ruined the shot - I like that the bush does add some tension, and the warm color complimenting the blues is very satisfying to me visually. I may try extending the canvas in Photoshop and see how it does, but for now I am comfortable with the imperfection

Rolf, what a stunning image! Wonderfully composed and tasty light.
Thank you so much, Ross! The desert camp I went to was in a wonderful spot on the border of some beautiful dunes in the south of Tunesia. The icing on the cake for my photo was my son, unknowingly posing for me in the perfect spot. He was much quicker to get to the top of the dunes in order to view and shoot the sunset with his phone.
There was quite a bit of haste, because we got to the camp 45 minutes before sunset and had to climb up to the highest dunes to be able to really see the sun go down on the horizon, which in itself took at least 20 minutes or in my case 40, because I was always looking for nice compositions on the way.
On the next day we left at 6:30 in the morning, so sadly no more photos of the dunes for me. Next time (if there ever is one) I will have to stay there for another day at least.

I don't know what your workflow is but every image you post is so clean and sharp. They really stand out.
Thanks Dennis, I think for the most part it's because I post full resolution embeds vs uploading here or embedding "web sized" images. 10,000px wide panos have a lot of detail
