Hello Mohammad,
What a wonderful view !
The colors are very nice, you've perfectly captured these different lights.
Very well done !

Hi Mohammad
This is exactly the kind of photo that I love! The sky and the light are so beautiful and that give excellent colors to the land. This kind of wide lanscape cut my breath. Iran looks really a beautiful country. Thx
Quentin

So gooddd... Perfect colors and contrast. Very impressive composition. Bravo Mohammad...

Wow, I just commented on Lucie's photo, and then I saw yours. This is spectacular! The orange color of the mountain looks beautiful against the blue sky. You've managed the exposure perfectly. The colors are just so saturated and beautiful. The composition is wonderful. I love how there’s light on just that one part of the mountain. Nice job!
Regards, Ryan.
P.S. I just bought my first digital camera, and was wondering which to shoot, RAW or JPEG. Do you shoot RAW and then convert it?

Bonsoir Mohammad,
les mots me manquent pour décrire l'admiration que j'ai en regardant cette superbe photo.
Un ciel si beau, si parfait, si bien exposé.
Bleu et oranges, toujours en parfaits contrastes de couleurs.
Un pov judicieux, je suppose que les endroits ne manquent pas dans d'aussi jolies régions.
Bien à toi.
Daniel.

Hi Mohammad!
Great shot with fantastic colors and sky.
This remains me to some landscapes in Cape Verde where I was the last 3 weeks.
The red color of the mountan looks fantastic.
Regards,LEO

Mohammad,
Lovely POV. The colors are supurb, deep earth reds and the blue and white of the sky..

Hi Mohammad. A striking landscape presentation in your accustomed style, with an elementary framing and a unique disposition of light that renders the grand scenery and the hovering clouds in an impression that is close to 3D. I also like the richness of colors and textural detail in those sections of the mountains that fall into the sun-lit areas.

Bonsoir Mohamed
Superbe composition. Les couleurs sont magnifiques : la montagne rouge, le bleu du ciel...
Tout ceci en fait un magnifique cliché.
Merci poour le partage.
Amitiés

After having so many critiques on this picture it is really difficult to add something meaningful besides that it is a great picture with perfect light, shadow, colors, and composition.
I am really starting to like the pictures from Iran on TE. What a beautiful country. I didn't have a clue how gorgeous it is out there.

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

Nice cloudy sky.

Hi dear Mohammad!
What a sky, what clouds and What a shot! Very nice shot with good polar colours. I like the shadows and highlights on the mountain, Very good work with the shape of mountains peak.

Tanks for posting.

Hi Mohammad,
Great contrast in the elements Earth and Sky.
The fresh blue white of the sky and the beautiful, little sinister colours of the mountains. Well composed with the traditional 1/3 – 2/3

Hi Mohammad,
Well, you can say that you were in the right place at the right time to make this photo. I'm sure that this light on the mountain did not last very long. You could have placed this in the 'decisive moment' category.
I love the way the sun on this summit makes the colors stand out against the other mountains in the shade. The sky, as usual in your pictures, is also splendid with these big clouds.
Have a nice day.
Brigitte

you have always been the master of exquisite sceneries. this one has the magnificence of light and shade, and wonderful color tones.

Hi Mohammad,
another excellent pic.
Nice vivid colours. I particullarly like the contrast between the light & shadow part of the mountain.

Excellent

Dimitris

Dear Mohammad,

your photoes make me explore our world, travel around endlessly and post as much as possible to TE. I have been lazy lately with postings, but seeing this piece of work I get motivation to try harder. On the other hand, I am a bit sad, because I know that still have a long way to go to reach your exhilarant work. Your Iran is beautifull - keep showing us more. All the best, Alan

Hi Mohammad. You live in a very nice country I have the impression, and you display it so nicely and colourfully. Personally I'm a bit sorry for the shadows; I would have liked to see more of the mountain. Nice work anyway.

Mohammad, thank you very much for your kind words. I wonder if you have originally planned to post photo from same place same day. You present us slightly different angle of that fantastic landscape around Abyaneh Village. Great use of light and perspective. Lucie

PS: my best regards to Eli

Hi Mohammad,
Excellent image with an amazing and very beautiful light, and a great resistance between the illuminated zones and the zones in shade.
The colors are fantastic, and the sky has been wonderful with these beautiful clouds.
A great shot.

Hi Mohammad,
A timeless and joyous scene. The beauty of your country catches my breath - so vast, so varied, so full of life and steeped in rich history. The lighting on the mountain is superb, and the sharpness level just right. The clouds are prosaic and the further line of mountains nicely balances, with good DOF. This shot makes me sing. All the best.

Another well done mountain shot, where the light of the late day for sure makes wonder to the landcape and add some fine details to the result. -well disposed compo with a balanced placement of the horizon line

Mohammad, merci pour cette photo en trois dimensions ! Le soleil met en valeur sous son projecteur la montagne rouge du premier plan alors que la montagne derrère est dans l'obscurité. Sur cela un ciel tout en relief avec des nuages magnifiques.
Encore une photo d'anthologie !

Good morning Mohammad:

These days, we heard too much about politic, about lie, about nuke. People want to kill again or what?

If I have the power to decide, I would let you handle the United Nations during this difficult moment. From the bottom of my heart, I feel camera will work better than bomb, and the world needs more photographers than politicians.

Take care!

Thanh

amazing beauty with side light and clouds...

have a nice weekend

Hi Mohammad!
Wow! Excelent light.Beautiful red earth works fantastic with blue sky.
Clouds covered mountains like big hand and allow just enough sun rays through on just right places.Bravo!

Hello Mohammed,

Probably the best landscape I have encountered in TE these days. The beauty of the place is overwhelming, and the light is fantastic. The clouds are just magnificent. I wish I had some more favorites for you .

Izzet

The sun only falling on this rough part of the rocks and composed exactly in the right corner, just wonderful. A bigger part with clouds, really nice done, Mohammad !

Hi Mohammad,

Beautiful POV. The sky and cloud pattern are just perfect. Well done,

Hi Mohammad
