A really great shot with beautiful colour, Aref. Marvellous light, and I love the shadows of the clouds on the sand dunes. A pity the photo isn't a little larger, and there is a dark polarising effect in the middle of the sky. However, I still find it a very appealing and striking photo.
Regards,
Andrew

Very beautiful Aref. These desert landscapes always produce wonderful results. Love the patterns in the sand. The composition is very well balanced and the dunes in the middle really add some depth to the scene. Like the deep blue sky. Thanks

Hello Aref,

It's a beautiful view, with great colors and light. The sharp foreground makes a good composition with the sand hill above in the background.

Best regards, Laurent.

This is a nice shot! I like the shadows reinforcing the sand texture, as well as the nice and strong colours.
Very well done;

Wonderful light and contrast - though I think the blue in the sky in the center is a bit too dark and distracts me from the beautiful white clouds you've captured. Overall, really nice though with good leading lines and texture captured!

Wonderful Image!!! The detail on the sand at the forground and the wavy lines that lead you into the distance makes this photo very attractive. Another strong point is the colour contrast beteewn the desert redness and the blue sky. The sand on the top right side seems a little overexposed but still this is good stuff. Well done!!!

Hi,

I really like this shot and it was very interesting to find out that there is such a desert in north western region of Iran. The composition and POV is awesome and the use of CP filter has helped this shot a lot.

Hello Aref,

I am also impressed with this one like the other TE viewers. Impressed to find out that there is such a desert remindful of those in Africa or in Arizona, but also impressed by it's photographic quality. The low angle is fine, and so is the low light wich accentuates the shadows. Excellent work Aref -
Keep well - Izzet Keribar

Hello, Aref -

A beautifully done photograph! The polarizing effect is a bit uneven, probably because of the wide angle - you need to watch that sort of thing. But the light is otherwise very well handled, and it's a great composition.
