Countries of the Middle East

First of all, I thank you for entering my contest with your image. I kept coming back to your shot. I have lived in the middle east myself, and your picture gave me the authentic middle eastern feeling. Everything about this photo works so well. I like that the corn is more in focus. The smoke and sparks from the grill create a very atmospheric and authentic shot. Very good composition as well. Brilliant shot.

Thank you for entering my contest with this beautiful image. There were many pictures of the Sheikh Zayed mosque submitted to the contest. Yours was the one that stood out to me immediately . A subtle and simple highly effective B&W picture.

Thank you for entering your very impressive picture to my contest. There is an incredible feeling to this shot. A mystical atmosphere. When looking at your picture it’s almost as if I can feel the breeze passing through. You have captured an stunning moment here. All components of the picture come so well together. The different layers, and shades of grey are also what make this shot very beautiful. This is the picture that kept me engaged. Congratulations on first place.

Thank you for entering my contest with your beautiful picture. The smoothness of the desert landscape in this picture kept me coming back to admire it. I really like the aerial view here of Wadi Rum and I can imagine after reading your description that it must have been quite a challenge to get this beautiful shot. Impressive image!
