Wide Open Spaces

[JAS]

Northern Desert Saudi Arabia Panorama. Nikon D5000, 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6. Indivudal shots at 18mm, 1/400sec and f/10.
Not shooting much recently due to work, health and COVID-19 so working through my catalogs to curate, clean-up and remember some past work.
This shot from 12 September 2011, though it would look exactly the same today.

That's indeed "Wide open spaces" like the idea a getting a person in the shot, this gives an idea how wide it is... Good shot.

I agree with @Laurent Dieu on using the person for perspective. Great choice and photo!!

Agree with the person perspective. I'm just not sure on the sky! Through my blindness, it just looks a bit overdone. Once we get out of lockdown, I'm going to the optometrist.

Great capture....Love the perspective and the horizon split

It is a bit over done. It was a cloudless, dry, dust free day so the sky was unusally blue and when I toned down the overall brightness I should have brightened the sky a bit. The horizon haze is heat shimmer. Air temp was meaningfully over 40C (104F). In this case, it is not your eyes. By the way, I could have driven 50kn in any direction and gotten pretty much the same shot.

Lovely place ~ by now, you know I love open spaces. Like the model there too.
Not a critique - if you change the blue shirt to red, I think the image will pop even more!
