•  Info Interesting dune formations in Sossusvlei, Namib-Naukluft National Park, Namibia. All by me, Poco² 10:38, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
•  Support -- Poco² 10:38, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
•  Support I like these kind of structures. --XRay ^talk 10:52, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
•  Neutral Have you though about convering this to b&w? I did and did it (quick and dirty: b&w, green filter, auto balance), and cropped to what I suggested here. If you try it and tell me you don't like it better I'll gladly change my vote on this one to support. -- KennyOMG (talk) 11:22, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

  I liked your crop indeed, regarding the b&w version, I'd like to offer it as an alternative version, --Poco² 21:44, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

•  Support Beautiful. I think there may be a small bit of vignetting in the top right corner though. Cmao20 (talk) 13:16, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
•  Support 😄 ArionEstar 😜 14:13, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
•  Support --Tournasol7 (talk) 14:53, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
•  Neutral excessive nr that has removed any sand texture on the dunes --Wilfredor (talk) 14:55, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

  Wilfredor: I've applied no noise reduction, what you see is what I saw. Poco² 21:44, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

•  Comment @XRay, Cmao20, ArionEstar, and Tournasol7: also letting you know, there's a new version --Poco² 21:44, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
•  Support - A bit of noise in the shadows, but a striking image and IMO an FP. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:47, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
•  Neutral Don't love the colors. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:01, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
•  Support -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 05:40, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
•  Support I prefer this, the B&W looks more like my bed this morning, I like to see that it's sand. --Cart (talk) 09:39, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
•  Support Nice colors, not everything needs a grayscale conversion. – Lucas 15:00, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

•  Support -- George Chernilevsky ^talk 08:00, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
•  Neutral Two very different images derived from one exposure, each a great picture in its own right. I have a slight preference for the B&W version, though. --El Grafo (talk) 10:01, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
•  Oppose Nice, but alt is even better. Yann (talk) 09:12, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

•  Question How large were the dunes? ― Gerifalte _Del Sabana 07:02, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

  GerifalteDelSabana, you can get a feeling with help of this image (see in the middle) Poco² 14:23, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
