Great image. Even without the leaf This would be a great image. I really like the color and texture of the sand and the sky is beautiful. The leaf adds an anchor point for the image.

The leaf makes a great anchor point in an outstanding image, but seems out of place in a dessert scene.

Very interesting, it makes the viewer wonder where the leaf came from. I love how it pops. A wonderful image.

Hamed, I really like this. The light is beautiful and I love the colors. The background and sky are fantastic and the detail in foreground sand and leaf is really nice. Looks like it might have just rained.

Very different for your other work Hamed. Like the perspective and wonder where the leaf came from.

Wonderful composition. Clean and easy to take in. I do have to know however, what is the black thing on the horizon?

Interesting and intriguing. My nit is that it seems you touched the sand near the tip of the leaf when you placed it.

many thanks guys for the valuable comments

this leaf is part of plant which is available in our country & the middle East specially in the desert. if you can notice the small plants in the middle of this scene which is the leaf a part of it. there was a little sand on the leaf so i removed it by my hand that's why you can see my hand marks in front of the leaf. i have took this shot after the rain has stopped.

thanks again

Striking light on the foreground really makes the leaf pop out. And then the texture adds to the impact. Real nice Hamed!

Great foreground, Hamed. The leaf works very well against the rainswept ground. The stark landscape and nice light work well with the solitary leaf.
