A very appealing abstract. The warm colors seem soothing and pleasant.
I think a crop off the top to eliminate the large shadow would look nice.

The empty quarter photography makes me curios to see it in person one day. Some former colleagues of mine work in Abu Dhabi and eventually I have to visit them... :wink:

I like the diagonal flow of lines from the shadows and dunes. Beautiful shot, Hamed.

Very nice dune abstract, Hamed. I also like the light and the diagonal composition.

I like the progression, going from bottom to top, of small to large. You definitely got some nice light!

Hmmm, I'm a little torn on this one Hamed. I love the shadows and gorgeous tan color but the rusty colors spots disturb somewhat as they immediately take my eye right to the bottom. I think I would rather see them cropped out and this turned into a pano. Just my thoughts.

Very nice abstract image of sanddunes. I agree with Bill about cropping out the bottom IMO a pano as the composition would be stronger.

Hi Hamed, As usual you made wonderful use of shapes, lines, light and shadows! The color in this is very nice and I see it working well with the crop that Bill mentioned. Nice work Hamed! :smile:

Wonderful abstract composition. I like the way the image alternately separates into dunes and then recombines into pure shapes. The overall contrast seems a bit high here. While it feels accurate, it also seems to draw attention to itself and away from the picture.

Amazing abstract. I too can see the value of the crop, but really like this as is.

Hi Hamed :wavey: The continuing patterns of shapes and colors makes this a great abstract composition :toast:
