hi everyone,

this image was taken last month by the end of season where the clouds almost leaving our country

no more clouds in these days oh Summer!!! extremly hot in UAE

. i hope you will like it.

i know this is a very different presentation from me & isn't like most of my previous work. I'm always trying to show the beautiful side of the desert with different view & different feelings. i hope that i can translate these feelings through my art works.

Thanks in advance

I really like this Hamed. The composition and b/w processing are very nice. I think you did a very good job showing the desert in a "different light"

A powerful image here Hamed! I almost thought this was an ocean in the distance shot. Yes, a cool way of communicating the desert in a unique way.

The B&W gives a very interesting feeling to this image.

Nice comp, Hamed! Good exposure with this tricky light. Id brighten the sky a bit (the darks and midtones) and call it a winner.

You have certainly succeded in your objective, Hamed. Even though this is different than your other work it is still beautifully conceived.

Nice. What a great combination of elements, and the monochrome ties everything together. Color seems like it would be distracting here.

Hi Hamed - I really like the perspective here. All of the elements create a lot of visual interest with the ripples in the sand, texture in the clouds, and strong lines in the reeds. The black and white processing was a great choice, too. Great work.

A fabulous shot, Hamed. I like how you have arranged the reeds so close the frame, and their contrasting lines to the rest of the scene is very dynamic. The contrast in texture is also quite wonderful between the sky and sand. Sure looks baking hot out there
