I like this Hamed. Very natural look to it the fall off in the sky being quite understandable with such a brilliant light source.

Very nice shot. The light works very well here in my opinion, adding a lot of mood and character to both the sky and the ripples in the sand. I like the lone dead plant too. In a lot of ways in reminds me of "War with the Sky," a Marc Adamus shot that just happens to be the shot for this month in his calendar (on my office wall). My only critique is that one tree breaking the horizon on the right hand side, but I don't see how you could do anything about that.

Hamed,

This is a truly amazing image. The waves in the sands are in the perfect light and angle. The exposure, even with the sun is also in the right spot. And chosing the small branch in the lower third was just cherry-on-top. Wonderful image!!

Another beauty Hamed! Great composition, and I love the texture of the sand. Well done, again!

Hamed, the brown and grey shades combined, together with the detailed texture in the foreground and the curved lines leading into the depth make it an execptional composition!

very cool, Hamed. Without a star-effect, putting the sun in the frame can be difficult to get to work, but it really works well here. I really like the processing of the sand, though I'm not crazy about the gray sky. I, personally, would clone out the silhouetted plant extending above the horizon, as I find it a distraction to the otherwise smooth visual flow of the image. Overall, though, an excellent image!

Wow I really like this one Hamed. The intense light is very well handled and the lines are great. I don't mind the tree at the horizon. I would like to see more techs on this one. Nice work.

Crop half the sky or more out, clone out that tree...and this will ROCK!

The interpretation of the light here is quite nice. The comp isn't perhaps as interesting as your other images, but the contrasting colors of sand and sky makes it engaging.

I like this very much. The ripples in the sand, the gray sky with clouds. Everything.

the light/lines and shadow in the bottom half of this image are unbelievable. Very nice.

I love it--especially the foreground!! The sun might be a tiny bit too much (gotta get out the shades

) but overall it works real well. You're on a roll, man--keep the good stuff coming!

Nicely captured, contrast of the light areas works well in a triangle. The texture of the sand adds to the feel, well done.

You've captured some very nice depth in the sand -- especially the light reflecting off it. This has a very surreal feel to it.
