Oh yeah, the leading line and back lit windblown sand are nice. The dark sky seems unusual to me, but it really adds to the photo in a positive way.
Strong comp.

This is an amazing shot. The hazy sun, dark sky, and the nice crisp edge of the dune is right on :toast: .............................Jim

Your handling of contrast always amazes me and you continue to come up with new compositions. :toast:

The faint blowing sands are just the icing on the sand for this. You are the master of the dune! Your handling of the sun and shadows pretty impressive. Pretty sure you would need to blend to do this, though it appears from your description it was a single exposure :confused: Regardless, spectacular shot.

The blowing sand off the crest of the dune is beautiful Hamed especially with the back lighting. Another wonderful dune image from you.

That steep crest and blowing sand make this shot exceptional for me. Also love the great light!

Nice job Hamed! I really enjoy this one out of your recent posts. You got quite a bit going on here with the line, texture, light, blowing sand, your signature sky and handling of the sun. :jump:

Love the arc of the dune ridge in the foreground, and with that blowing sand, this is simply superb.

many thanks my friends for the comments

Richard, im always trying to keep the sky a little dark than FG to keep the attention more on my main subjects

Harry, all my works are a multiple exposure sometimes 2-3 exposures and for this one are 2 exposures only, some times it depends on the power of the light source and the direction of the sun

thanks again guys for the support

A very attractive image, Hamed. I love how you have filled most of the vertical frame with the sand dunes, with just enough sky to make the composition interesting. In my opinion, the sun's brightness here is perfect (in some of your previous photos, I always felt that the sun was too subdued, not so here).

Look forward to seeing more. :toast:

This one is just great Hamed. Nice leading line and the blowing sand is just great. You are the master of the dunes. One of your best. Can't see the cascade. :jump:

Hamed,

I can't think of another photographer who captures the sun in the desert environment as well as you do. Very stong, bold and well balanced composition and as always, you've managed to capture such wonderful light in such a harsh environment. Kudos to you!
