Sun rise-Hormoz Island(Click for larger view)

Thanks for comments.

Well seen composition and light flow!

I'm not sure how you managed the light, because light is showing on places in the cave where I would have expected shadows.  The sky near the edge of the entrance is a lighter blue than the rest of the sky, and I suspect that's from processing.  Still, you did a very good job for such widely varying light conditions.  The inside of the cave might be a tad too bright for the conditions, but it's close.  Nice work.

Sadegh, you have so many excellent photographs in your portfolio that feel so natural.  I have trouble with the realism of this one because the human eye does not register this much detail for this type of scene.  I agree with Stephen that the lighting is difficult to understand as you present it; shadows and highlights seem to be going in random directions.  And the bright white cloud at the peak of the cave seems very odd in a sunset of this type.  It's too over-processed for my taste.  Regards, Jeff   

Wonderful shot! This exceeds my current capabilities, although I'm learning. I have to agree with Stephen and Jeff. The blue sky appears too bright and unnatural. It also seems to be extra bright near where it meets the cave wall. The left wall of the cave is also unbelievably bright. If you were to adjust those two areas to be more natural, I think you have a spectacular image!

Best regards,

Beautiful composition and great lighting. Congrats.

This place itself is really beautiful, the light is amazing. Unfortunately final result looks like overprocessed HDR, I absolutely agree with opinions above.

Regards.

super!

Thank you all for your comments and ratings. You all have right about this work and I know that I have over processed this image but sometimes I like this kind of work. I wanted to show the texture and forms of this cave and you know that the contrast between the foreground and background is so high that you can not mange it without HDR processing. How ever I really appreciate your advises and try to do my best to make this image more realistic.

 

Best regards

I have no objections about the sky. However I think that you show too much of the cave. Would have preferred if you had shot it closer, with the cave just framing the landscape. Also, I would have preferred the sun being in the center of the cave opening; either this or both the sun and the island farther and with more space around, which you could have achieved shooting closer (once again) together with a shorter (wider) lens.

I love it, the light in the cave and beyond, the exposure manged so well! Great!

 

Wonderful sunset well framed.
