I like the rocks, but the ray effect is way over done.  
Also there should be some very strong shadows with this 
position for the sun.

From Stickgod01@aol.com:
good sand texture and rocks, but the dunes look too sharp. They're smoother than that. I like the birds.

From tony@j4tb.com:
Nice picture. Gives you the feel of the desert. The birds seem somewhat of an irony. A different lens flare would really make it look hot.

From javaearl@hotmail.com:
Good birds. Very believable desert (great sand texture.)

How can the sun shine through a cloud?
The direction of the light seems to be different from the location of the sun.
The sand looks a bit too flat.

From mark.wagner17@gte.net:
The lens flare overwhelms the rest of the scene.  Try 
getting rid of the rays from the flare, but leave the glow 
alone.

From chris_hormann@gmx.de:
good work on the stones, good composition.  I wonder about the "clouds" in
foreground on the right, they do not seem to fit...
and there is no place in sahara, where it never rains :-)

From jouni@mikrobitti.fi:
The Sahara is a vast plain, if I remember it correctly. Pretty harsh terrain
you've got; wonder how sharp dunes like that would manage the continous wind?
Very nice sun/sky effect!

From StephenF@whoever.com:
Nice shaping on the rocks and ground, and I like the 
blowing sand effect.  The textures look good too.

The bright lighting and shadows seem to have no relationship to the sun.
