This is a real nice change of pace, Hamed. I like the B&W treatment and a really interesting and well done composition.

A good story telling image, Hamed. Nice conversion as well which adds to the story.

Very interesting photo and title. Those do look a lot like bones at the bottom of the sand... The black and white presentation adds impact to the image.

I really like this, do you have a version without the URC?

Fantastic image and nature story Hamed! The story is amazing because the tracks lead to the bottom, and then they end, leaving the viewer to their imagination why the tracks stopped. Although I believe the sticks up top are just that, probably deposited by water, rather than bones... But the viewer's imagination could conclude they were bones, which makes your title very fitting.

Beautifully seen and crafted.

I thought it might have been the great escape? Depends how you look at it! Nice tonality and grittiness to the image.

I LOVE this! Superb image that shows the philosophical concept none of us can escape.

Was it merciful or merciless...

Excellent abstract Hamed. It really makes the viewer wonder what the real story is. Love your B&W treatment.

very cool image Hamed. The fact that the prints lead to a specific destination instead of just off into the horizon makes this shot for me. Great choice to go BW also. nice work as usual. :toast:
