It is very difficult to chose one photo from so many I've taken in Iran. As desert is one of my photographic obsessions I pick one from Dunes at Maranjob at Dasht-e Kavir Desert.

---------------------------------------------------

Dasht-e Kavir also known as Kavir-e Namak or Great Salt Desert is a large desert laying in the middle of the Iranian Plateau. The Dasht-e Kavir's climate is almost rainless and the area is very arid.Temperatures can reach 50 °C in summer, and the average temperature in January is 22 °C. Day and night temperatures during a year can differ up to 70 °C. Rain usually falls in winter.

The desert soil is covered with sand and pebbles; there are marshes,lakes and wadis. The hot temperatures cause extreme vaporization, which
leaves the marshes and mud grounds with large crusts of salt. Heavy storms frequently occur and they can cause sand hills reaching up to 40 m in altitude. Some parts of Dasht- e Kavir have a more steppe-like appearance.

Hola Lucie,
Una foto excelente!!!
Me gustan los colores que has conseguido.Muy buena la nitidez y la profundidad de campo.

Bonjour Lucie
Superbe cliché de ces dunes dans le désert. Les dessins sont vraiment très réguliers. Très belle luminosité.
Merci pour le partage.
Amitiés
Nicole

Hello Lucie,
you can upload more than one picture ;o)
A very nice shot, good graphical foreground, nice overal tones in the sand.
Regards,
Didier

Hi Lucie,
Well this one will for sure get some well deserved success here, wonderfully graphic, with an excellent warm feeling, no person in the frame but so we focus on just plain desert beauty, we heard about your trip from Mohammad, hope you had a great time in this widely unknown but so diverse and fascinating country.
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

hello lucie
Very beautiful photograph of the desert or I could spent one week of trek to Libya, and I realized of the difficult life that can have the people of the country to live, on your photograph sand is splendid by the light which you knew used, your voyage has really to give a satisfaction by the landscapes different S that you show us. Thank you for the share

Hi Lucie.
Une fois de plus une très belle prise de désert.
Le jeu de lignes sur ce premier plan avec ce jeu d'ombres c'est splendide et elles dirigent notre oeil vers le fond, tout glice.
J'adore les différents tons de jaune-brun.
Le choix de cadrage et la qualité sont tip-top

Wow Lucie! The sense of texture and space in this shot is really amazing! You are the master of the desert. I would mark this as a favourite too except I don't want to use all of my favourites on only your photos! Great work as usual.

absolutely incredible image Lucie, as are your other two uploaded. these are without doubt your best images in my opinion. stunning one and all. well done for going to iran - i thought i might not see you again - not only have you returned but you have returned with some real treasures!

Hi Lucie,
heh - difficult to chose, but you've chosen a right one - the winner!
;-D
Fantastic texture in the FG, great saturated colours, great lines in the sand and light all over.
Robi

Hello Lucie, an awesome photo from you too - I just opened Mohammads.
Another wonnderful image of textures and patterns with such stunning colours and shadows. Very well presented, and I certainly hope to see more from you of Dunes at Maranjob at Dasht-e Kavir Desert. (I love the name!!)
Thank you
Janice

Those deserts are so amazing! i love them! thanks for this great photo adding a great color to it!

Uzasne, az gycovo krasne :)

Excellent low POV to admire the texture and sand shapes,
Beautiful shot,
Oscar

Your Iran series so far is genuinely impressive, Lucie. Your whole portfolio shows your eye in capturing graphically appealing settings in a special mood of light, and it seems that Iran was an ideal match for you, photographically speaking. This one is very nice in the way the shooting angle conveys a deep perspective along the dunes, and the rippled foreground patterns serve well to lead the viewer's eye to the more luminous areas of gently undulating shapes in the background. Nice work.

Hi Lucie!
Beautiful shadows and light.Pattern of sand waves is fantastic.I like warm colors here.Good composition.

Hi Lucie. Must be quite an experience to have visited Iran (especially now). I'm very fond of those desert pictures. And this one is particularly good: good zones of sun/shadow, nice colours and a particularly good foreground with that "ribbled" sand. Well done.

Hello,

You have presented us spectacular play of light and shadows. Great sand texture. Amazing composition. Thanks for sharing.

Regards,

Wojtek

I like this picture, good match between shades and light.
One of my favorite!
Ciao, Freddy

Hi Lucie

Hi Lucie
I really like this beautifull perspective. The sand make geometrical lines. The light is great.
It's a GREAT picture
Bertrand

Hi Lucie
What strikes me most about this photo is are the intricate lines in the red sand. The contrasts are superb and I like the small part of violet sky.
Regards Nikki

Another gerat shot and good capture of the light.
The sand creates a natural artwork which eye can follow to... nowhere.

Hi Lucie,

Stunning shot, perfect to moment to make the most out of the desert sand. Makes me think of the Sting's song called "Desert Rose"

Hello Lucie

Desert has always been my obsession as well. Just as your "Dunes at Maranjob" photo, it has that something. Beautiful shot with amazing sand patterns. I also like the color of it which is so strong usually in the morning. Great photo.

Take care, Wojtek

A great shoot, with a dynamic compsition ;)

Huh! It could be named as wow project! Great shot. I love deserts. Erg chebii in Morocco gives simillar effects... Regards. Mac
