Beautiful mountains, a fine tribute.

I would crop the foreground out and make it panaramic if I was you. I did a workshop, hope that's o.k.

Rgds, Leilani

Sayat,
Beautiful landscape showing the mountains in the background. The lighting and colors are great with excellent DOF. I agree with Leilani that the foreground could be reduced through cropping.

Hi Sayat,
Great pov of that famous mountain. You make our sight zigzag on those lines made with on the green.
It's very sad and ugly what happened to H. Dink. I confess I only knew about him here in TE. It seems that photo isn't the only theme that we learned about here.
The quote of Gandhi is much appropriate.
TFS, Regards, José.

Dear Sayat
A wonderful picture of the famous mountain & a fitting tribute with the saying of Mahatma...I think that the FG can be cropped a bit to give a pano format...Good one my friend

that is one place i would like to go...
read a lot about this area in an archeological book
fine vista shot with the dominant peak although small..well balanced with the plain in the front

Hi Sayat,
very beautiful capture of this impressive landscape. The more pictures I see of this region the more I want to visit it.

What happend to Hrant Dink is very sad. I have followed this issue in the media closely. I hope that this tragic event will strengthen the democratic and liberal forces in Turkey at the end.

And one addition: From a pure aesthetic point of view probably it would be better to crop the lower part of the pic. But in this case a part of the meaning would be cropped too. The borderline across the plane beneath Ararat divides an area which used to be an entity for thousands of years. It is the result of the tragical extermination of Armenians and all other christians of Anatolia due to fanatic nationalism. The same nationalism responsible for the murder of Hrant Dink.

Best Regards
Andreas

Hi Sayat,

This is meaningful for contributing it to Mr. Hrant Dink’s memory. Your photo is pure, raw and excellently chooses for its primary mission. I like its naturally well contrasted colors, depth are and of course snowy hill of mountain under blue sky. Congratulations.

Friendly Regards,

Selam Sayat,
Dilerdimki bu faşist saldırıyı yaşamasaydık ve siz bu çok güzel çalışmanızı Hrant Dink in demokrasi mucadelesine ithaf etseydiniz.
Saygı ve sevgilerimle.

Hi Sayat,
Excellent landscape, love the way the mountain gently slopes right from the plains. The snowcap fits nicely, like a majestic crown. Specials thanks for the Mahatma quote.

Merhaba Sevgili Sayat,
Ermenistan'dan Ararat'ın bu görkemli görünüşünü fotograflayabilmeyi ne kadar isterdim anlatmam için sözler yetersiz kalır.
Bu enfes fotograf için çok çok teşekkürler, tebrikler ve ellerinize sağlık.

I love the deep blue of this one. Interesting to see Ararat from the Armenian side. Strange, desolate scene in the foreground, but it adds interest. Well done!

Sayat Bey,
Ağrı Dağı fotoğraflamaktan büyük keyif duyduğum bir doğa anıtı. Ne yazık ki bu açıdan fotoğraflamak bana kısmet olmadı. Umarım iki ülke arasında kökeni geçmişe dayanan çekişmeler bir an önce sona erer de ortak kültür miraslarımıza daha iyi sahip çıkarız.

Hi Sayat,

it's been a while but good to see so many fine shots since I've been away. I like this one much, it has good, vibrant colour and the snow capped mountains are superb. If I had a very minor point I would say it would be that the foreground detracts a little from the magnificent backdrop but it's still a very fine capture.

Regards

Stephen
