Hello Sameen,
Honestly, I think you have done more postprocessing than I would normally appreciate, but I admit the result is quite stunning.
Regards,
Gert

Hi Sameen,

I love boosted colors as much as anyone but I just can't get my head around wanting to depict such dingy looking clouds. HDR can certainly be a useful tool but it can also detract from the natural beauty all around us. That's only my personal observation and I appreciate that everyone has different tastes so I'll use NR vice a yellow face as I mean no disrespect.

Cheers!

Bob G.

hi Sameen,
great colors (good control of the post-treatment) and light through the clouds. A very expressive sky, with clouds brushing against the top of the dunes. Well composed with the pieces of grass on the foreground.

it's like a picture book, you're right. Great use of vertical framing to emphasise the height of this place. The tones and saturation are super.
