Another shot from the same place I took my last shot of these concretions stones. There is no color cast but that was the late afternoon light when I pressed the shutter. I hope you will enjoy this one.

Very neat, reminds me of the eggs portrayed in the movie Alien.

These boulders are way too cool and having them on 4x5 is a great thing. Very nice, Mohsen.

Very interesting Mohsen. A little weird I know, but my first thoughts were of skulls in the catacombs!

I love the graphic nature of this - nice capture!

Fascinating place and image, Mohsen. Have no idea what type of geology created these, but they look like mud balls. I think the image looks fine, but could see playing with color balance to see where it might go. This is the type of photo that is open to a lot of interpretation.

Fascinating! Great composition as well - I know it can be surprisingly tough to compose these sorts of scenes. I can see this as a nice black and white too.

Mohsen,

Yes, Fascinating! (sorry for the duplication) but it was my first impression as well. Indeed they do appear as eggs from an alien world. I really like that you filled the frame too. Nature is so amazing.

Lovely photo, Mohsen. The subject matter is so intersting and you have combined that with a very effective presentation.
