Is It a Painting Or A Photo?

I saw this incredible photo yesterday on the U.K. Daily Mail website. It was taken by Frans Lanting  for the National Geographic.  Is it a painting? Or is it a photograph?

 

See what you think:

Photo by Frans Lanting of Namib-Naukluft Park for National Geographic

From  the Daily Mail:  " Just a quick glance and you could be forgiven for thinking this striking image is a spectacular piece of artwork. But take a minute to look a little closer and you will see it is in fact a photograph – capturing the eerie camel thorn trees in Namibia's Namib-Naukluft Park in an entirely new light. Tinted orange by the morning sun, the soaring sand dune in the background gives the illusion of a painted sky."

You can find this incredible photo and more from the talented Mr Lanting  featured in this Daily Mail article.   Enjoy!
