Hamed, this is a really nice scene. You did a great job of working with that light. That sky looks pretty sweet!

I think this is a my new favorite from you Hamed. The plants bring a great element, and the overall mood is one of mystery. Superb work.

This one is really nice work Hamed. I agree with others that it is a very dramatic shot, and gives off a great mood. My only recommendation is to see if you can't lighten up the upper right corner a bit. Especially in the dunes up there seem a bit dark. You have positioned the dune tip there nicely, now see if you can brighten it up a bit to draw more attention to it.

It's really been fun to watch your work improve since beginning on NPN, and this is no exception. I'll echo, one of my favorites of yours. This one fascinates me in that is is very "busy" for a dunes shot, and yet it all comes together. The reeds on the left lead to the beautiful light, and yet there is this whole other drama on the right. Masterful to put this all together so that it is not distracting. It's fun to just look at and get lost in the details.

Wow Hamed!
At first glance this suggests reeds in water but then we see its a sea of sand.
Magic.

You always have that strong orange tones in your shots. Sometimes they work well sometimes they are a bit strange. Here they are just marvelous. Awesome shot, Hamed.

The warmth of the sand combined with the stormy sky is intense. Love it.

Beautiful work, Hamed. The glow works very well here giving a dreamy and romantic atmosphere to the desert. Really like your comp with the fg grasses balancing the bg dune. The warm tones you use in these desert shots is just fabulous.
