The place looks almost apocalyptic Hamed, great job on the blend. Top shot.

That is an amazingly strong image, Hamed. Deserts can be gruesome places.

Top notch composition. The feeling of death balances well with the warm tones.

I love this image. It makes me feel as if I am in a sand storm. The color palette is appropriate for the subject and the blending couldn't be better. The outline of the body created by the branches creates a strong feeling of doom. Had you noticed that?

It would have been interesting to see a version where you took a large step to the left then let both branches on the right run out of the frame. This would have caused a closure of the form holding the viewer in that area longer. It would also reinforce the visual of the outline of a head and body.

Great image. :smile:

Great balance and processing Hamed. The background is especially stunning.
