[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This photo of Karkas mountains was taken from hill next to Abyaneh village. Iran has such a beautiful landscape full of deep and beautiful colors. I was lucky to get very interesting shadows that created nice layers of darkness and light.

Karkas mountain chain or Karkas (Persian رشته كوه كركس Reshteh kuh-e Karkas) is located in Central Iran. It ranges from Kashan to Ardestan over more than 100 km and is mainly composed of igneous (plutonic and volcanic), pyroclastic and somewhat sedimentary Tertiary rocks. In the central part, this mountain chain consists of a Precambrian-Paleozoic basement. The highest peak of the Karkas Mountains is 3895m which is close to Natanz.

Hello Lucie,
Excellent shot! I like very much the transition and gradation of colors that you were able to capture in this photo. Congratulations!

This is a very nice landscape. I like the difference of illumination between the different grounds, which reinforces the depth of the picture.
Well done,
Yannick

Magnificent shot! I like the long, telephotoperspectiv on this, compressing the different places into one frame and each shape and outline building on the others. The alternativing layers of light and dark work very well. Beaufitul!

amazing, another shot of yours from Iran that shows the country as a land of beauty and wonder. fabulous colurs and layers of light and shade.

Judging by this shot and the rest in your collection, you are truly a master of light. I love how each hill alternates; light, dark, light, dark, light, dark. Exposure is excellent, keeping the shadows dark, but not too dark. Nice telephoto-effect here. Regards, Ryan.

Lucie,

This is excellent playing with layers of the light and shadows that you captured and composed perfectlly,very attractive,the shot caught the eyes very well,for me this is very live,and I know the view was like here that you show to the friends,very well worked and a great result you reached,Lucie,

I posted another from the place and made a link here,hope you like it,...what a note!
Great informative one,too,and Thanks for your warm words about Iran,I'm very happy,Thanks,

Dear Lucie, You say that you were lucky to get these shadows (I remember you had used this term before in your notes about some of your photos) but I think it is not just luck, It is also about how you look to your surroundings and capture it at the right moment. So for me it is not only in the category of NATURE but also belongs to the category of DECISIVE MOMENT.
Beautiful as always.
Can't wait for the next shot(s).
Bravo Lucie
bAbAk

Yes another amazing landscape photograph!
The second row of trees are almost like a reflection of the ones in the foreground.
So many contrasting colours and layers, it's lovely.
The more I see of Iran the more I want to visit!
Cheers

Hello Lucie,
A very nice serie that you present us with Mohammad!

A good lighted foreground (near grass of trees?), the successive layers make a strong composition.
Superb light and colors.

Un incroyable jeu de plans et de lumière.

I love the contrasting mood of this photo and the way it is built across several plans. Composition is so wonderful and the picture so sharp. The deep warm color toning is dreamlike, lending a sense of abandon to the picture. Very good.

Hi Lucie,
Good composition, sharpness, light and colors.
Perfect quality, excellent contrast.
Thanks for sharing. Uğur

De verschillende lagen licht en donker maken deze foto heel bijzonder.

Hello Lucie, the colours of the mountains are of course wonderful but its your capture of the light that makes this image special. It's amazing how there are the different layers of dark and light starting with the light trees in the foreground and ending with the dark sky behind. A stunning composition.

This is just an out-of-this-world image! I must quote, "If there is a paradise on earth, it is here"! Your fabulous framing, and wonderful color work on this fascinating play of light and shadow over the majestic vista is just stunning. Bravo!

Hi Lucie,
What an outsatanging capture! The game of light and shadows, resulting in all these mountain layers is simply superb. Magnificent foreground. I could look at this picture for ours. Really amazing! For my 100th favourite.
Thanks a lot,

Hi Lucie
The sharpness of this photo is incredible.
i was wondering if you used any sharpness in you PP. Looking at your photo I think i will buy the sigma lens that you used for this photo as I intend to do quite a lot of this kind of photography in Ladakh (India) ... this year.
cheers and have a good day

Hi Lucie - woow, spectacular, what a light, I bet this would be an ordinary spot unworthy of a photo, but under these light conditions becomes magical, a favourite for sure.

This is a great photograph Lucie. I like the way you managed to capture the five different light bands, alternating light and shadow, in the one image. The tonal quality is almost like that of an infra red image. Very good compositon and framing.

Parabéns Lucie pela foto,composição linda, cores maravilhosas, fantásticas.

Hi Lucie,
It is very interesting - I've never seen the same lighting efect in the nature - It's like a computer trick with many layers but somehow I feel it is real. I like this dynamic impression of the shadow/highlight areas.
TFS!
Congrats,

Lucie,
although being there on the right moment, with the right light may be pure luck, taking the picture and working on it afterwards always is an action by man !

As a lover of landscape pictures this here fits it extremely well. What I like most here is the alternating sequence of light and shadow through the different colorful layers.

Oh my god, this is incredible.

A landscape from an other planet.
Well done

Lucie, your landscapes go way beyond this category. It seems like you would never be indoors ;-) -- your works breathe, and celebrate nature's incredible diversity. I don't really know which to pick from your distinguished gallery; perhaps this one for the fabulous contrasts and colours. Sorry I am a bit speechless to critique but believe me, the awe is here.

Ahoj Lucinko. Skvela hra svetla a stinu s jarni zeleni a cervenou v pozadi, krasne kontrastuje s poslednim hrebenem ve stinu. Gratuluji, nadherny snimek. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Michael

another lovely shot Lucie, really great layering and repitition to get the most out of this beautiful scenery.

Splendid ! I saw Abyaneh when there were no clouds around - this view is surprising, the light is dramatic...
Bravo, "tabrik migam",
Cath.

I have just discovered this beautiful picture Lucie.
The shadows are so dark in contrast with the areas bathed in sunshine;and I like the hard rocky mountains contrasting with the softer feathery feel of the trees in the f/g.
The colours are outstanding, tfs.

WOW! You couldn't get much better light than this. The FG is nicely lit to provide texture and the different layers of light and shadow plus the colours in the rock are just fabulous. This is going into my favourites.TFS.

Unbelievable!
This kind of picture is a dream for any geologist. A mineral landscape with such a dramatic lighting is a great moment that you captured so well.
The bright trees in the forefront are perfectrly placed to enhance the landscape.
