The score has exceeded 7.4 at 154 votes, so I am thinking I just may get to be in the top three; and I have even surpassed my PB of the photo “Divine Delight” which was a spur of the moment and a spontaneous lucky shot,; while this one is a well planed and timed HDR photo that I drove for to Dana Wild Reserve about 250 km southwest of Amman where I live.

I hope it stays this way or improves :) Also a friend of mine was taking my picture while I was photographing



But DPC will still need the originals I guess!

And to use a cliche: "It has been a long week"

The eleventh hour, and it is 6 AM here in Jordan, leaving now for my daily 16 km fast walk hopefully by the time I come back I will see the photo in the top 3; InshAllah

Wow. I just ran across this shot. Excellent retainment of shadows etc... I just got a 10-22mm lens, so this is quite inspiring!

I own a 450d as well and I am seriously stunned that this image was created using a 450d!! I am glad I own one after seeing this. What a tremendous motivation to keep going and keep learning to shoot! Awesome job!!! I would love to see the originals...

Congrats Tareq! I had a hard time seeing past your border but it is a fantastic picture. (you did use all 800x800) :)

Great shot but the border knocked a couple of points off for me

Stellar. Perfect composition, tones, textures. WOW
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The clarity! The DoF! The sunset! The colours! The...um...border?

Love this. 10 from me, even with the overbearing border.

The border detracts from the beautiful landscape. 6
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Superb and eye catching composition. Lovely light, color and detail. 10
Aha.....I worked out that this is your entry Highnooner. I recognize the terrain as being very similar to other images in your portfolio.

11/28/2009 05:37:46 PM
I'm not a big fan of your heavy black frame. The rest is amazing.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/28/2009 01:21:00 PM
I am not sure about the frame but picture is really nice
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/28/2009 09:19:12 AM
I really like how the sun plays across the image and the rays are really nice. I am not so enthralled with the black bars told and bottom.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/27/2009 11:10:04 PM
really, really like this...such rich color and tones

Great scenic! 9
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/26/2009 01:22:23 PM
I'd bet you are getting lots of comments on your border. My own opinion is that it is too thick and distracting, but the picture is great. Good luck. (not voting)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/26/2009 07:34:24 AM
breathtaking.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/25/2009 10:29:30 PM
This reminds me of the stark landscape of where I live. An excellent photo - the large border enhances the wide field view. Love it: 10
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/25/2009 10:22:17 PM
The black boxes really take away from this otherwise fabulous image. (not voting)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/25/2009 09:31:05 PM
I don't know about the thick borders, for it narrows the image. And in this challenge, I think the wider the photo is the better it becomes. Without the border, it's a very decent photo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/25/2009 01:37:20 PM
beautiful! wonderful colors, great comp. Border is a tad overdone, IMO.
All in all a great job - 8 -

11/25/2009 01:04:26 AM
Not sure that the letterbox is an enhancement, but the image is spectacular.

This is beautiful!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/24/2009 10:19:22 PM
This is an awesome shot. I think the borders are a bit too thick for my taste, though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/24/2009 07:19:25 PM
Excellent shot, great.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/24/2009 07:04:10 PM
Taking no chances on the 800 pixel thing? ;-)
Beautifully detailed image with all things in the right places and (other than the heavy black borders) nothing there that shouldn't be there.
I'm guessing that when the competition is over the sky won't be the only thing that's blue.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/24/2009 04:25:20 PM
beautiful- top 3
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/24/2009 12:31:15 PM
love this (looks like Highnooner's kind of work).
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/23/2009 10:39:08 PM
Now this is truly lovely and worthy of a 10.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/23/2009 05:36:47 PM
Beautiful!

11/23/2009 05:05:03 PM
Wonderful title! Love the PP on this shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/23/2009 03:32:37 PM
Stunning... The wonderful tones and detail are amazing. Simply stunning. Still on the fence about the thick black border, but I can't give you anything but a 10.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/23/2009 01:29:57 PM
the frame is a bit much on this, i think.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/23/2009 11:23:30 AM
Love the color range, rays and the sharpness of the shot. HATE the wide borders.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/23/2009 09:19:02 AM
Nice perspective
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/23/2009 02:18:37 AM
This is very good. The sun is well handled. The blown highlights do not over power the scene. Good stuff. (no vote)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/23/2009 01:30:07 AM
would have given this a 9, but the border hurts this image
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/23/2009 12:21:18 AM
This is nothing less than stunning. My only suggestion would be to reduce the borders (top and bottom) by half. Nothing to knock points off for IMHO. Wonderful leading line into the sun through the canyon. The tones complete this shot, brilliant work.
