Awesome compilation of items that make a perfect presentation. The image is amazing, but in my personal opinion the framing is overpowering.

This is lovely Mohsen - this all works so well together - would look beautiful printed and framed.

Terrific image and comp! Love the subtlety of the sand striations playing with the swooping arch of the log. The color looks very natural as well, nice work all around

Lovely combination of texture in the sand and stick and the colors of the sand and flowers. The graceful curve of the stick adds motion and helps keep the eyes moving. Another winner.

Exquisite image. The textures and ripples in the sand together with the delicate, beautiful flowers are all superb but with the graceful arc of the palm leading the eye through the composition.... stunning.

Wow, amazing intimate shot! The texture of the sand, the color and beauty of the flowers, and the sweeping shape of the stick. Also like the juxtaposition of the life and delicacy of the flowers versus the harshness and death associated with the stick and the desert sands. Superb shot, it's got masterpiece written all over it.
