Holy Cow, this is sooooo good! Great foreground detail, and overall comp. The heavy shadows work very well here imo, creating awesome contrast in the scene!

Pretty epic light/location/texture. Really well done. At first wanted to tweak comp but upon looking it's solid. What a place!

This is an amazing b&w image! Lines, curves, shadows and light...all perfectly proportioned.
And that light!
This is far better than the vertical composition, IMO. Outstanding work, Hamed!

Awesome image Hamed. I prefer this one to the vertical version. I really like the lines in the foreground sand and the b/w processing is perfect for this scene.

Looks good. There is an element of surreality in this, which is very appealing.

Wonderful and well processed in B&W. You've given me the idea to convert my images from White Sands to B&W.

Oh yeah, the layers of rock and light combined with the textures and shadows makes for a fantastic comp. This is a strong one.

Great depth with all of the layers of shadow and light. Also like the contrasting smooth sand shadows and the mountain forms. Makes good use of dead space. I think this has it all.

This is fantastic, Hamed! Almost like two seperate photos, but it works together (the two opposing triangles) I really like the great tonal range here.
