Hidden Moon

Looking at what I have, I been absorbing the image for quite a while trying to inhale the colors and tonality. I wasn't happy till I realized that I have seen it enough to be bored. Time for the rest to enjoy the view. This is captured back in my Saudi Arabia trip in November 2012.

The title of the image comes from a moon hidden in the image if you can notice it top left corner.

Wonderful combination of elements, color and light. You've balanced everything out very nicely.

This looks really nice! I like your comp and the rippled foreground sand. That sky is beautiful with the light, clouds and wonderful color.

Thanks all for stopping by. What really pulled me into capturing such composition is the cloud formation with amusement. I am planning another trip to KSA sometime next month with the will capture something closer to what is seen in Arizona! :biggrin:

Very pretty. I love how the cloud coloration mimics that of the sand.

Nice, Abdulla. This is beautiful. I love the cool tones in the sky here, as well as the subtle textures in the sand. You've done well with this scene, and I look forward to seeing what you come away with next month!
