Makkah, Before & After
I would like to call this,
"Makkah, Before & After". *
My grandfather used to tell me some stories about Makkah.
He told me When they reached (migrated) Makkah before 50 years, there were rocks, mountains, deserts and dryness everywhere.
But if you see Makkah today, you'll never be able to imagine how it really was!
Here in this pic, I tried to compose MY IMAGINATION towards Makkah's Past.
The Rocks represents as Makkah's harsh past and at the background still to be completed buildings represent as Makkah's Today or Future.
So, I call it "Before & After".
What do you think?????
Hope you'll like it

Like what you have done 
Only thing I'd want to see different is to get the horizon straight as sloping buildings always look a bit odd

I like the concept of the idea very much.
It's not a criticism but I wonder whether you could have had slightly more of the foreground in focus ?

Great concept and composition.
If you could make the improvements that Phil and Azz suggest then it will a strong image.

I really like this one. 
I love the concept, and the composition actually works ok for me, because if you widened the shot a little bit more, there would probably be someone else who would suggest that you crop it slightly, and you would have ended up where you started, lol
I think this is the best image you've shown us yet.
Looking forward to seeing some more from the region
