Lukasz this is really nice! Beautiful composition, a natural abstract for sure!
I really like those blads of grass/reeds, (not sure what to call them) the way they have made their patterns in the sand. PERFECT lighting for this, really gives it depth,
Great photograph!
Lori :)

beautiful shot, Lukasz. I love how you have captured the stillness & movement of this environment. Wonderfully composed & cropped. Great use of colour. There are dunes just like this on the west coast of Oregon, in the US a ways down the coast from me, & i have often travelled there & marvelled at how steady & yet mutable that environment is - the constant shifting of sand from the off-shore winds & yet the sheer mass of the dunes makes them seem so permanent & somehow solid. Wonderfully captured.

Hi Lukasz, I think this is one of the most impressive shots in your portfolio. Very well balanced composition, but also a nice touch of dynamism. The tell tale of the wind, sweeping the last straws of sand in the ruthless and desolated desert and creating those patterns in the sand.... Maybe I'm getting a bit carried away here, but it's the only way to describe that, I feel.
I presume you used a PL filter? The deep tones in the sky fit very well. I would only have removed the shrubs on top of the hill on the right.
The off centered composition is nicely balanced, and I do like the DOF and level of details. Very well captured.
Cheers,
Hugo

Hi Hugo, thanks for your reply and interesting concept - cause I had some problems to answer to your last comment I will do it here;
I agree that there must (should) be a dominant object in the shot - usually this is the object the photographer wants to emphasize in his/her work; it is also wonderful that the other objects in the picture create line(s) which leads the viewer to the dominant object and allow to concentrate on it and your picture above (the main at the top) is a good example of such pictures (IMHO the main object is the peak of the dunes far in the background and the edge leads the viewer's eyes in lovely way there),
but
there are some pictures which does not comply with the above rules
I am just wondering what do you think about this picture
http://www.republika.pl/kuczkowski/photo20.jpg
What about this shot? I also like it but there are some failures I noticed after the picture was uploaded - you can see the vinieting in the right and left lower corner which is not a good thing (here you can find the other version of this shot but this is not the same
http://www.republika.pl/kuczkowski/photo5.jpg
)
I did not want to make any changes in PS to that picture so I left it without them and you can see it as it is on slide;
yes I used here the PL filter which makes the sky stronger and warmer the light;
thanks for your comment; I really appreciate it
regards
Lukasz

Yep! That's exactly what I meant. Although it centers the grass a bit more, which is not necessarily an improvement for the composition, by removing the distraction, the attention is solely focused on the patterns in the sand. Arguably, the more close up view leaves more to the viewers imagination, which increases the tension. Thanks for showing me; very interesting to see the difference.
Cheers,
Hugo

Hi Lukasz, I agree photo 20 where the rules are conserned. The difference is the nature of the subject. In stead of a landscape, this is more of an abstract. That does change the essence of the shot tremendously, I think. I took a similar / comparable shot (per attached). Different rules apply to different images; or the lack of rules, for that matter... Most important rule, as this images also shows, is that creativity and thoughts cannot be replaced (or described) by rules... Aesthetics is something subjective, thank god!
Cheers,
Hugo

wow.. very nice image.. love the composition.. I did not know that poland even had this type of landscape.
the lighting and contrasts are great.. nice use of a PL filter to bring out the sky. This image reminds me more of white sands New Mexico than say a beach photo although the sand is not that white :) just the angle of the image and the sky makes it remind me more of a desert..
great work!!
