The bright part of the sky is perhaps just a tad overpowering, but otherwise this is a very fine image with a lot of interesting elements. Your composition works very well and the B&W conversion sets a perfect mood for the scene.

Hamed,
I DO like this one! The composition is flawless, with such interesting flowing lines, and the light and processing also help bring this glowing scene to life. (So I am glad you added "Almost" to the title

Fabulous find Hamed. I love the beautiful tones and detail in the foreground. The sky is a little hot, but over all this is a very strong image. One of your best,very nice work!

An excellent comp, Hamed. I love the bw conversion and your overall processing. The curving lines in the fg sand create a lot of dynamic movement that swirl around the image and back to the dying plant. I also think the sky is way too blown, and would even consider cropping it out entirely to keep focus on that fabulous foreground. Love it.

Really nice composition, love the curving lines. Would have to agree with others about the blown highlights in the sky, perhaps you could pull a little more detail out of the Raw file. B&w conversion works well here.

Very creative. An outsanding composition that really manages to draw me in. I also love the range of tones.

Congrats on your image!

What caught my attention first was the curves in the foreground. The way this curve is made is such a cool attention-grabber element. You have a good crop there and nice tonal range too.

hamed - i like this very much - the composition is outstanding. two things - first, the sky is a little too bright for me and, second, i think you have applied some orton or other such effect - I might be wrong - but there is a slight haziness that disturbs me slightly!?

I agree with Phil on the sky being kind of blown out looking, but otherwise this is a remarkably well designed image. And it's not that the sky is too bright, it's there's a bit too much that's bright. It's possible it might translate just fine in print.
