Another real beauty Youssef. This really fits your name - organic. I love the subtle color variations and the wonderful textures. Superb.

Very nice juxtaposition of soft curves and gritty texture.

I took a look at your gallery to catch up on your previous in this series. All wonderful captures, Youssef. Truly a very fine collection of shapes, sizes, patterns, textures, and of course all colorful too.

I haven't had a chance to comment until now, but your recent "stone belly" images are unique, beautifully visualized, and well captured. Thank you for the inspiration!

Stone Wave is still my favorite from this series, but this one is really nice as well. Great use of light here. I like the textures and subtle colors in the rock.

Wonderful textures and colors in this Youssef. I also like the diagonal in the comp. Very nice abstract.

Rich texture! Nice job on keeping the lighting low key, it brings out the color.

The light is just exquisite. What a marvelous project this is and another magnificent image. I like John Sherman's comment, which speaks better than I could have to that aspect of the image. At first I tried to ignore the bright sand and the dark spot, but find that as I watch the image, they become integral to the scene. Fantastic photography, Youssef!

Incredible image, Youssef. The forms of the rock seem almost alive, their movement frozen in time. Love the textures and tones as well.
