This is from Salalah in Oman, truly wild country especially its beaches. There are two birds one is flying on the left so it is not duct :)
Looking forward to your comments

Nice and solid composition with the implied curve, Mohsen. The farther away portion of the beach looks a little dark to me, but that's about it. Do you have a longer exposure of this scene too - might be interesting with the water motion.

Very nice Mohsen. The only nit I have (minor) is that the URC seems a bit dark. I like the composition, and especially like the chosen shutter speed - looks very realistic, yet artistic at the same time. Well done.

The leading lines from the rocks in the fg really work here. Sweet shot.

The beach looks great. The line created by the rock, starting with the first one and then the lovely golden light on the wet sand is beautiful and very effective. The sky is not doing so much for me - the color is odd. I think a crop could work to make this more abstract and "intimate". Just an idea...

I like the curving line along the fg rocks to the distant shoreline and hills, but the centered position of the sun leaves me a little stuck. The reflected light on the shore is beautiful, and the cool/warm color mix is very appealing.

Mohsen,
Excellent seascape, sunset and great use of the near/far composition. Nice work. Funny, before I read your comments or new where this was captured, I thought, the sky sure looks like it might be from the deserts around Saudi Arabia! I mean we have seen many images now (and a great thing about NPN too) of the skies and how they look from the airborne particles from blowing sand. And it's quite interesting to see that sky over such a clear and beautiful beach.

Good use of the curving line of rocks to lead into the sunset. Very nice.
