NamibRand again. The long shadows and the minimalist composition were the draw for me here. I used to like lens flares and glares - I still do, when I'm filming something - but not so much for the wallpapers. So it got the boot.

And I pushed the blacks.

Nice simple composition. I like the warmth and the colors.

So I made them richer. As a bonus, that also brought out the purplish-blues of the Belt of Venus behind the mountains.
