Great range of tones here, Hamed. Nice near/far comp., leading lines and focus. Looks like it might have inspired one of Stan's evocative "Alien Guitar" pieces! :toast:

Hamed,

Gallery perfect. the rocky ridge line in the background and the shadow and light really take this image to the next level.

Hamed,

I just love the tonal range here; the contrast is outstanding as well. Great job with the composition with the ripples pulling the eye in to the landscape. Beautiful work.

Superb image, I love how basically the same kind of shapes get repeated over and over in each of the different components of the image. Tristan

Love the leading lines and the processing makes for a very intense, in-your-face image. I can see a crop off the top (the dark strip of sky) working, also.
