Deadvlei at First Light, Namibia

Probably a less common photo of the dead camel thorn trees of Deadvlei in Namibia. It was in the midst of a sandstorm before sunrise when I went to Deadvlei. Deadvlei itself is surrounded by sand dunes and therefore a bit more protected from the wind and flying sand. I took this frame when the first light hit the valley floor. It is taken with a 300 mm lens. The typical orange color of the dunes shows when more direct sunlight hits their surface, hence the more magenta hue. Please let me know what you think about the photo. Any suggestions and comments are very welcome.
Thanks,
