Photographer’s Note

Primary boating facilities are available at this magnificent lake but despite all the risks, every visiting person seems to insist on taking the risk of boating.
Afterall it is like once in a lifetime experience!

Hi Hadi

Wonderful color, sharpness, & lighting. I like the optical illusion of the tilted waterline, & the strong color contrast between the blue & red. Good work!

Hi Hadi, the color contrast is a stunner. If anything, probably you may want to crop the right of the photo as it does the water being disturbed by the moving boat. I don't know if it's deliberate, but I thought it may be good to shift camera angles to avoid the moving waves if I shoot on a boat..still it takes nothing from a great shot!

Cheers,
Kean Fan, Singapore

Numerous times you have titled photographs like this one as "Bamiyan". It's not. These photographs are of the chain of six lakes in the desert known asBand-i-Amir (specifically, this one, of Band-i-Zulfiqa - Dam of the Sword). They are not in Bamiyan Valley and they are not Bamiyan, which is the 100-foot-high statue of buddha carved from the cliffs which the Taliban blew up. Please correct, if you would. Bad enough we're destroying their country, without furthering misinformation about its beauties. Thank you.
