Hadhari Mosque, Terengganu Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is a local mosque in Jertin, Besut District in Terengganu State.
It is a newly build and I believe the most beautiful in the district.
The architectural is very fascinating.
Masjid Jerteh or The Jerteh Mosque has now become a new landmark for Jerteh, the northernmost town of Terengganu (Actually there was no landmark before anyway as Jerteh is just a small but rapidly developing town). The mosque is perhaps the most significant contribution by Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh to Jerteh while he was the Terengganu Chief Minister for only one term. It is because Idris Jusoh, like me, hails from Jerteh.

Jerteh is where I was born and brought up. It is strategically located between Kuala Terengganu and Kota Bharu. It is also the town where foreign tourists especially backpackers stop to take a bus to Kuala Besut before they head for the world-famous tourist destination – Perhentian Island off Kuala Besut.

The Jerteh Mosque seems to be designed based on the middle-eastern and Turkish architecture with its prominent domes and minarets. It is located on the bank of the Jerteh River – a small river besides its much bigger sister – the Besut River – the two rivers that flank Jerteh town.

Indeed, it is a beautiful mosque with a spectacular architecture. The picture is very well done with good natural colours and nice light for an over cast sky.

Hi, Yes the architecture of the mosque is captivating, the atmosphere is adding drama to the picture, however why not crop some of the empty road leading to the mosque - or better, if there would be something in the foreground going towards the mosque or leaving the mosque, that would make the picture 100% perfect.

hi foozi,
i like the way you framed this capture, showing us the whole appearance of the mosque and its surroundings. i especially like it this way becuase it seemed like your subject, the mosque is "loosely sandwiched" between the grey sky and the golden ground that makes it more encompassing!
cheers friend,
Benedict

Hi Foozi,
This is perhaps among you best shots. I love it. the color though a little dark, but rich and details are still very nicely maintained. Beautiful Mosque, you made a beautiful composition of it. showing the overall area form the enterance. the towers reaching toward the sky. the optical distortion border me just a little bit that the lamp is leaning, but at least is leaning to the inside which help with the composition. Really great job on this one. Congrats!
