Fresh work, just took it this morning where we had foggy sunrise.
I have taken this image from one of the huge dunes in Al-Faya Desert.

Feel free to drop your comments :smile:

Beautiful lines here. The mist really has a nice effect on these dunes.

This really has to be viewed large to be fully appreciated. Great lines and texture. Love the subtle coloration shifts of the sand. Great work Aziz.

That's really cool. Maybe I'm naive and just not familiar with the desert climate but it seems like this would be an unusual occurrence. Either way, it makes for a very compelling image. Thanks for sharing!!

Really special light and the comp is very nice. I like the contrast with the wetness of the fog and the dryness of the dunes.

This is great! I like the leading lines of sand in the foreground and the expansiveness of the dunes in the background. Also,
the fog is a unique element, not something I typically associate with desert and dunes. The only thing that I would consider
is cropping the upper 1/6 of the photo and there is a lot of empty space up there. Either way, it is a fine photo.

Wonderful lead in lines, the foggy background adds to the mood. Nicely done.

Very striking, Abdullaziz. I love how the foreground clarity slowly gives way to the haze in the distance. The composition is flawless.
