Another stunning image Hamed, this one looks like sculpture rather than nature :toast:

Love the composition and the orange and blue really work well together. You gotta love the DOF on these Olympus cameras.

Hamed,

Indeed, another fine image from the dunes. Right time of day and beautiful warm lighting. I can see the reference to a sculpture.

You do such fine work with the dunes (dare I repeat myself...) but so maybe I'll be picky here. The composition is fine, but I fine the strong lines of the ripples lead towards the left edge of the frame, then abruptly stop. I said it was picky, but I guess it would be nice to have some continuing flow. But I know we are certainly at the mercy of nature's design most of the time. Regardless, still an excellent dune image.

A solid shot, Hamed, some good light--but not one of your best shots, i think the left side feels a bit too tight--the lines lead towards the left but there is nothing to carry the eye farther up the dune crest.

Nice bold lines Hamed. I like the fg and bg, but the mg seems a little muddy. Nicely sculptured none the less :smile:
