Desert dream...

this in a frame is interesting, even provocative and inviting. too much black in this picture takes away from the details in centre.

reminiscent of daydreaming at sunset that an UFO is about to take you to a better......WAY.

its like a sunset.

Hahaah! Yeah - totally agree!

I just forgot the palm trees...
I like it On Black

your revelation removes the mystery. sometimes a secret should remain so. or at least in this case.

Thanks everyone !
Thanks for your critic, Pic_chiq, because that's what I expect from people on Flickr. I hesitated to reveal what it was (ok, I deleted it ;-)). I also found there was too much black, I already cropped the original, and that's a thing I have to learn : not to be afraid of cropping. I often leave a photo on my hardrive, because I don't know what to show or not. In this case, I also liked the "ground", so cropping too much would have left too much of it out... it's a deliberate choice.
Although I am so glad to have nice comments, I like it when someone gives constructive criticism, because it helps to progress.

wonderful concept beautifully executed. any further crop would be a mistake. it is the light that leads your ye and the shadow supports the overall effect.

This is one is a real puzzle! I have no idea what it is. Might be one of those glass balls that have snow inside...
But it looks to me totally like a car on the road, at night, with another car coming at this one (the lights), and the car is jumping (floating over the ground:). Hahaha! Supa cool!

Thanks everyone !
What an imaginative mind you have Purelight ;-) When I took this picture, I was alone in the desert... when suddenly there was a light in front of me. Luckily, I had my camera on hand, because it didn't last long... I came back home still wondering if it was a dream, but "developing" the photos on my computer I realised I didn't dream...
