The Hidden Island !!

Gallery: LandscapePosted January 28, 2012163 views12 comments

Hi folks,

this is just my latest work & it's much different from my desert images & i think i have find another vision to present the desert in many way & views. my idea was to keep the bottom out of focus with more space to give more depth to this scene & keep the eyes focusing only on the trees. it's really a new challenge for me & i hope it will reach the success. do you think the title fit on this image??

Thanks for watching

I really like the isolation shown here Hamed, but every thing appears soft to me. Might just be me, and I look forward to other responses. I do like the composition and depth shown.

I think the depth, and the tree silhouettes and the sky are very attractive. I find the long oof foreground distracting and think that cropping between half and 2/3rds of the foreground would improve the image. But I know it's tough to work on alternative visions, so I strongly recommend that you keep trying and look forward to more images.

Hi Hamed, This is an interesting effect, and I do enjoy it. I do focus on the trees but I kind of wish for a little less foreground. Maybe just a little cropped out (about 1/3) although it does work for me as is too. The distant mound adds some nice depth as well. This is different and I like that. I don't know if it is just the type of trees but they have a bit of a soft glow look, and I think that looks pretty cool whatever it is. Nice work.

I like the effect on the foreground as I thought it was wind blown sand. But I think the image would have better impact if the trees were in focus. I do like the comp and the colors.

Great Idea Hamed and amazing perspective. Given your amount of work on dunes it tends to push to look for different view points.

The top parts of the trees look strange - out of focus, or orton effect? It distracts me a bit, unfortunately...

Lots of personality in the trees. The seem blurry though, and as a focal point, maybe it would be better if they were sharp. Light is certainly nice here.

Yo boss, this one excels!!! You are the man!

It is a testimony of what one man can do with just a camera and the desert! Keep up the great work. I assume since the sand was blowing that that is the blur, and I like it!
