Silence in Moment

hi everyone,

this one is the hardest image I've ever edit, it's my first try to combine different focus & different exposure in the same time it was really a big challenge for me as it's my first try. i hope you enjoy this work


all the comments are welcome

Thanks in advance

hamed - this is very compelling as usual. the processing looks good to me - well done - the only potential caveat to that might be in the shadow to the left where the tonal gradient seems uneven???? i might also experiment with a crop from the bottom - perhaps into a square - the repetitive patterns in the sand are then mirrored in the sky? all-in-all, great work.

Very nice Hamed! I love the way the streaked sky kind of mirrors the sand in the foreground.

This looks very good - especially like the ripples in the sand that mimic the sky

I love this. The lines in the foreground, the soft pillowy dunes in the middle, and the great sky make for an awesome set of layers to this. The depth you created is wonderful. At this size I can't notice any weird processing issue, so well done!

Looks fantastic, Hamed--love the colors here! It looks just a tiny bit soft overall, but that might be due to the blowing sand. Nice work! :toast:

Beautiful image! I love the pastel colors with the sunset. On the focus blending, I can see some softness in the lower 1/3 of the image.

You have a wonderful combination of elements here, Hamed. I love the overall softness of this and the assortment of textures and patterns is very beautiful.

Sweet light, Hamed. That along with the graceful lines and ripples in the dunes work hand in hand. My only suggestion; and this is probably just me because no one else has mentioned it; would be to clone out those couple of black rocks among the dunes. They just remind me of black specs. Great job on the processing, BTW. :toast:

Beautiful light and lines. Do you have this in landscape orientation? For some reason, it looks to me like it should be landscape. ??

Very cool image Hamed. I really like the highlights created by the blowing sand. The processing looks good to me.
