Congratulations! This is the Image of the Week selection for the Landscapes Gallery, week ending 8th June, 2012!

I just returned from this year's Namibia workshop - great as always. Even though this was already our 9th or 10th visit, I still consider it a huge privilege to be able to walk around in the incredibly stunning landscapes this amazing country has to offer.

What surprises me every time, is that even though I know most of the locations we visit by heart, and have taken thousands of images there, I still see new compositions that I missed on previous visits. This changes from year to year. Last year for instance, I suddenly saw way more possibilities than the years before, and I still wonder what caused that. One day you're really struggling to get anything decent, the next you see nothing but great shots to be taken all around you.

Anyway, this is one from last year's visit to Namibia's most iconic location: Deadvlei. Shot early morning during pre-glow.

Your comments are appreciated as always.

A gorgeous photo of one of my favorite places. For my taste, the red color is overdone a bit as the ground is a bit too red.

Love the detail and color. Just look at the cracked earth, anthropomorphic trees, and surreal background.

You really hit the spot here. The trees work extremely well together, with the one with the spread branches looking as though it is coming back to life. Superb. Somewhere else for the bucket list. Oops - sorry, it was already there.
