Amazing shot - colors, balance, the torch lit kid and a sense of traveling - it makes me want to just go somewhere and be 'far away'!

My best picture I have seen in DPC!!!

If this was my pic. I would call it: "my best pic ever".

Not to nitpick, but the horizon looks ever so slightly crooked. Just rotate about .5 degrees CCW and it should be perfect. Excellent shot.

Great shot mate and well deserved! Great capture.

The result is superb, John. Congratulations, this is a fantastic photo!

The color makes it. I don't think I've seen this great of color in a digital photo yet... it's so great! Well, pretty good composition, I may have liked to see a little bit more contrast out of the dunes, maybe crop a bit off the top. I see some blue in the dunes to the left... is this a result of a cooling filter or something? I would have liked to have seen the dunes not so cold.

Outstanding. By far the most evocative of the "Far Away" entries I have seen so far. I am returning to this and am still troubled by the slightly off-level horizon, but no matter. Beautiful gradient, wonderful star :-)

fantastic colours, looks like a great location

Oh my!!!! This evokes so much positive feelings. It's so beautiful, but the idea of being in a cozily lit tent sharing that beautiful place -- breathtaking!
Post actions
Probably the best one of this contest. My only miniscule criticism is the portrait orientation. I think this one was more apt for landscape orientation.
Post actions
I love this - perfect. Fabulous colors and the silhouettes rock! Back to bump you up - a rare 10 from me.

I love this. The sky looks really good. Maybe if the stars were more pronounced it could look even better. Definitely my favorite so far.
Post actions
Awesome shot. Everything in the shot works to make that tent a powerful focal point, from the lighting and colour to leading lines in the sand on the dune and the lines of the horizon. Spectacular.
Post actions
Very nice shot. Meet the challenge very well. The light in the tent really adds to it. 7
