this is 36 second exposure using 10 stops ND then I blocked the light using my black wallet for the sky part after the 5th second.

I hope you like it and your C&C is required

thanks, :toast:

I like the simplicity and minimalism here, Abdulmajeed. The conversion is also pretty good. I see a comp without the sun too. It will simplify things even more.

Pretty cool shot. I definitely like the balance and simplicity of the composition. The appearance of the sun is a bit strange to me but some might find the surreal look appealing.

Love the simplicity here and the b&w works very well for me. Also really like the appearence of the sun, it seems to fit the scene as a whole! :toast:

Abdulmajeed,

Simple is almost always good, and certainly the case here. What a terrific example of the use of the Rule of Thirds; very strong composition, simple yet bold.

The only nitpick I have is suggesting cleaning up the sensor dust spots; most notably on the left above the horizon.

I like this very much. Thanks for posting.

A very strong b&w... simple, well balanced comp. I could enjoy this with the sun cropped out as well, but I do like the balance of the shot as presented.
