A very strong foreground, with great light and contrast. I think the sunspot is a bit heavy, and dominant, and the light falloff/gradient from right to left is a little strong as well. I think it's a powerful image, and I do like it!

I like how you've captured the texture of the sand. :toast:

Awesome lines and texture Hamed and color. The "blown" sun also looks very good - I think it is processed differently than people are used to, but I think it's perfect. Only nit is the very small cloud formations in the sky left (clone?). Anyway - fantastic shot - one of the better sandscapes I've seen. :toast:

Really nice comp, and the texture, lines and color are all beautiful. The sun is a bit distracting when I first looked at this, but it does feel like I'm there looking at it. I think it works very well. Nice work Hamed.

Hi Hamed,

The sand even feels hot! What a nice touch of color and contrast and I also like the composition with the light in-crescendo to the right. Amazing image.

Really like this, Hamed. Interesting how the size of the sun feels right for this scene.

The low light on the sand, emphasizing the texture, is compelling. I really like how you've processed the sun - I almost have to squint to look at it!

Great color and texture in the FG ripples. The bright sun brings out a completely different mood - one of harshness, but it doesn't overpower the beauty of the sand. Very nicely done Hamed.

The light and texture in the foreground is beautiful Hamed. It would make a fantastic abstract all on its own.
