Striking and pristine - the warm glow above the dunes pretty cool. Did clouds, ND filter or multiple exposures maintain the exosure control with the sun? :confused: :toast:

Hamed, this works very well. The light beam on the ridge is outstanding. It truly is the key point to a very unique look at a somewhat normal sand dune capture.
As Harry has commented, what technique was used to control the sun exposure? :cool:

I agree, Hamed. What a great find! Dune light is rarely this good and you handled it really well. That edge is just perfect!

Really enjoying your dune series of images Hamed. The glow up the ridge and exposure control are wonderful.
