Comment There are of course already awesome dune FPs of Namibia, but I think this one is quite different due to the sand blowing over the top. I think this makes it a nice addition, but perhaps it is less spectacular than some other landscapes. --Domob (talk) 15:02, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support I agree, the sand blowing over the top definitely adds something new. No problems with image quality. Cmao20 (talk) 16:07, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment But nothing is in focus, presumably because of the wind. Charles (talk) 17:12, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Focus is on the dune, so the shrubs in the foreground are out of it (as well as the background, but that still seems reasonably sharp to me). The top of the dune nevertheless is very soft, presumably because there are no well-defined lines to be sharp in the first place due to the shifting sand. I agree it looks a bit irritating, though. --Domob (talk) 05:54, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose QI, but not FP. Too random composition for me, sorry. --Kadellar (talk) 00:02, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Charles and Kadellar.--Peulle (talk) 07:30, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The blowing sand is of course a novelty with these dunes, but it is a small feature in an otherwise rather dull light photo of a dune. Sorry. --Cart (talk) 14:47, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per Charles, Cart, and Kadellar--Booth sift 07:17, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Kadellar --Fischer.H (talk) 10:06, 4 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Regretful oppose per Cart. Daniel Case (talk) 01:46, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The arbitrary crop blows it for me. I’d like to see the dune’s foot to the right at least. A bit noisy too (or is it all sand grains?). --Kreuz schnabel 05:39, 9 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per Charles, Cart, and Kadellar. -- Karelj (talk) 20:32, 9 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
