The sky has power and the light is great. I like the tension between a green plant and the desert sand. I have looked at this for a while and I think a slight crop off the bottom, not much, but just a little. To my eye it seems like the plants are just a tinny bit to prominent in the image. Maybe that is just personal preference. A fine image either way.

I like the light and how it shimmers on the dunes and shrubs. A nice contrast with the foreboding cloud. Nicely done Hamed

The foreground feels a little busy in this one, Hamed. But, another excellent treatment of light and color.

From the thumbnail I loved it immediately, specially because the sun and the sky is so amazing.
I am also not so sure about the FG plants. Maybe a bit less would be better. It is dominating the scene.
Otherwise it's a fine image.

I agree with the others--ordinarily thirds rule but here the plants arent strong enough to balance the amazing sky--i might crop a bit too. I love the subject though, and you do a terrrific job with those tough sun exposures.

Hamed, I'm loving your desertscapes. The ripples in the sand aregorgeous. Keep them coming!

Another beautiful image Hamed. I love the light and color in this scene. The rippled sand looks fantastic. I too can see a small crop taking some of the bottom off.

Love the sky...and I agree, a crop of the vegetation at the bottom would be helpful.

Another beauty Hamed. Your control of light in your skies is amazing and this one is no different. I agree with a little off the bottom. Nice tones throughout. Really Nice.

On this one Hamed the foreground does work with the main elements for me.
Maybe a tops of the bushes only.

You're a damn fine shooter mate. Imagine what you could do with more than sand.

I must agree with the others that the sky it the biggest attraction here and a little less of the foreground plants would be better. Love the warmth of the sand you've captured. Vignetting is well placed and of the right amount of opacity.
