Wow, really cool! The water motion around that FG rock is great. I like how the water textures lead the eye out through the scene and to that wonderful light on the horizon.

This is beautiful. The rocks look almost like pearls surrounded by silky waters.

I like it very much. What was the shutter speed you used to capture the water and what is the significance of your title?

Nice and original. Lines of the water and perspective of rocks leading to the light are working very well together. Wonderful.

Thank you all for passing through and your thoughts
Michael : i'm not sure about the shutter speed where i took various speeds to freeze some parts of the scene as well as the motion i need
Oh the name, many people where asking me about it. Simply, the flow at that time was really really really strong and fast. Also, to achieve this sort of motion you have to capture the moment when the water goes back to the sea. Therefore, the idea behind this title is that when souls leave the body (go back to God). Every person sees all what he/she did in life as a flash back. where the movement of the water with this shutter speed represents the flash back.
Additional sample, when you run a business and it doesn't go as what you planed for. your account goes back to ZERO
well, this is life

Nice dizzying lines here Abdullaziz! Love the walk in feel.
I do wish the colors (Safari - calibrated) were a little stronger.

Beautiful image Aziz. Love the action and color. I do wish there was a little more room on each side of the rock, but that's pretty insignificant.

Oooo this is fun! Could crop a vert pano and might make it a bit more compelling to empahsize the sweet rocks. Just a thought. Great scene here.

Wow very cool processing and lines. That's some unique geometry you found! I will say it's a little bright for my tastes but that's my only nit!

Excellent! Love the repetition of the receding rocks and the extreme energy of the water. Very, very, nice

Excellent image Aziz! Very ethereal and engaging. Love the subtle color, understated color. Perfect shutter speed IMO. Would not change a thing/

Great image, Abdullaziz! I like the way the foreground stone is not exactly in the center, but off to the left a bit. It makes for less repetition and makes the image even more interesting. The way you captured the water is awesome.......they look like clouds. The soft colors also work very well with the soft look of the water. The distance perspective created by the stones getting smaller as they reach the horizon, and the direction of the water, also works very well. Beautiful work!

Way cool, Abdullaziz. I can see why it is one of your favorites. I simply love the swirls of water around the rock; also great leadin to the scene.

Beautiful lines Abdullaziz. Reminds me of airflow images of smoke over a car in a wind tunnel. I think you could increase saturation and contrast slightly and still not over do.

The water sweeping around the foreground rock is completely unique, as far as I've seen - and it just gets better as you lead into the scene and see the other two rocks perfectly aligned in the distance. Wonderful shot.
