    Night by the Dead Sea

    This is a shot I did as I was passing the Dead Sea on my way from Jerusalem to Eilat. I could have stayed there for days as there were so many amazing shots but security was tight and I didn't want to push my luck. Let me know what you think.

    It may be an amazing place but the viewpoint is so far away from anything of interest that it could be any where in the world and the viewer wouldn't know the difference.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    I agree with MB: I like the tones but there's just nothing of interest in the picture.

    Re: Night by the Dead Sea

    For me, this photograph is quite ordinary ...but yet, it keeps me looking. There is something about the tones, colors and the feel of the place that makes me want to explore it, and that is why I would say that I like it. In as far as any improvements may be concerned, I would consider cropping the sand at the bottom ...up to or just past the fence ...I think it makes a stronger visual that way. Thanks for sharing.
