Lovely b&w Hamed! (works better on the black bg for me). Interesting combination of structure with both the sand (and the great lines!) and the rocks.

This a beautiful B&W. I really like the lines and textures.

Hi Hamed,
This is really unique and excellent, I thought I've seen all the B&W dunes in the world and this surprised me.

Impressive, Hamed. The tunnel effect looks very dynamic and you used the fish-eye really skillfully here. On top of that the conversion is a success too.

Love how everything seems to curve inwards so harmoniously. Great use of the fisheye. Wonderful.

Hamed, love how the sand flows up into the rock formation here. The B&W treatment is perfect! I'm liking it better with the white BG just a bit more! Wonderful! :toast:

Very interesting perspective to create a harmony of line between the sand and sky. Surprisingly, I like it with the white back ground.

I like it with a white mat and a black frame. :biggrin: Fantastic use of lines and light, Hamed. Very artistic!

The composition on this is excellent Hamed, as is the processing. I can't find any nits at all - Sweet!

A gorgeous eye-catcher! Very dramatic swooping lines and perspective. Your recent sand dune shots have been truly inspired. I look forward to seeing more! :toast:

Wow! I haven't been a big fan of fisheyes in the past but this is awesome. It expresses a very fine artistic feel. The curvy lines draw me in and really hold my interest. I'll revisit this one on a better monitor later. Sweet!
And just when I thought I had all the lenses I need.......... :biggrin:

You used the fish eye so well here I didn't even realize you used it until I read the specs! The B&W treatment is very powerful here and so well done. Impressive as usual!

Unreal. Never seen a landscape so complimented by a fisheye. That distortion is perfect for the sand lines and clouds. Kudos

What a great mix of elements and tones captured here. I love the way the cloud formation mirrors the arcs in the sand on the left side. In the perfect world I would prefer that contrail wasn't in the ULC, but this is still fine with it. Well seen!

Another awesome dunes shot Hamed, you have a very unique "style" putting that fisheye to good use to create a very creative effect. Love the B&W treatment and perspective, can't wait to see the next one you post!

The sweeping motion of the various elements really keeps the eye in the frame. White background has always been my favorite for B&W.

A stunning image, Hamed, in terms of perspective. Well, I like everything about it- comp, subject matter, b/w, all the patterns and lines. But to me, it's the perspective that blows my mind. For that effect, the one with the black mat is very effective. Beautiful work; lots of talent.

Wow, wonderful composition Hamed! The angle you have found works beautifully, and I love the lines and shadows in the sand and the clouds. Great piece of work.

A very engaging shot. The energy picks you up and swirls you around a while until the sky offers liberation. Excellent B&W conversion too.
Kudos.
