billyboy, 10 months ago

Al, I’ll agree that luck had a bit to do with it since you were lucky your friend dragged you out there. But this is no grab shot, which is confirmed by the quality of your other work… it was your eye that spotted the awesome lighting, the gathering clouds and the amazing composition, and your skill made it possible to capture the scene as you saw it. No surprise this won multiple awards. It is a masterpiece and I’m looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Elaine van Dyk, 7 months ago

I am truly at a loss for appropriate words to describe how this image affects me. It is one of the most beautiful desert scenes I have ever seen. I believe it would be impossible to improve on that wonderful lighting, or on your chosen composition. The misty look of the sand/dust being blown around the camels’ feet, and the clouds that look as though they are about to wrap up the whole picture and conceal it from us, make this an exciting and powerful theatrical scene. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I congratulate you on this work and on all the awards it has deservedly won.

Al Neaimi in reply to pinkyjain’s comment, 7 months ago

Thank you Pinkyjain

Larasolnishko, 7 months ago

I love piece of poetry you add to the immage….
What happens to dreams that die?
Are they reborn in other minds
nourished in more fertile ground –
do the sands that cover them
windshift
reviving them again, or are they
preserved, like dried straw flowers,
still rich in color
but sapless, too fragile now to grow?

It is reflecting my inner thoughts….

linaji, 6 months ago

I have ment to say that the pairing of you two is like chocolate laced with opium.. a dream vision you have captured and Liannes rich dark prose:

What happens to dreams that die?
Are they reborn in other minds
nourished in more fertile ground –
do the sands that cover them
windshift
reviving them again, or are they
preserved, like dried straw flowers,
still rich in color
but sapless, too fragile now to grow?

We can only hope that perhaps dreams are born again in another time and place.. your work will always be to me what the rays that extend out from the sun are to each other,, Linaji
