A shocking darkness, yet a window of light gives hope.
The lightup of the mountain peak provides a special effect to this well composed photo.

Dear Mohammad,
The dark mountain with the snow on top, against the imminent sky, and the small lighting in the clouds make your picture attractive.
Cheers,
John

Very dark and foreboding scene. But, hey, the light is beginning to shine through. Great shot Mohammad, I like it. Well done!

This is really excellent, Mohammad, with a stunning mood generated by the highly contrasted presentation of the rugged mountaintop below the impending layer of clouds. The effect of the light breaking through and illuminating the snowy peak is great. Very good work.

You chose a very nice composition here Mohammad. The dark cloud and mountain seem to be a mirror of one another, as does the snow and the white cloud. Great vision.

Hi Muhammed,
Good capture of the darkness. This must be the picture of the HELL.:)))
But the little light on top left of the mountain shows there still is hope.:)))

Very good job and thanks for sharing...

The dark side is beautiful, M ;-)
Both camera work and PP work are excellent and the result is very successful and powerful. The heavy sky give a very rensed mood, dramatic colors and light. Great job, M.

This is a great shot, mohammad ! I like the light and the dark mood that is characteristic of this picture, and I think the allusion to Pink Floyd album (one of my favourite groups !) is well found. Iran Mountains look so scenic !

paulspain (625) 2005-03-18 17:49

WOW, Mohammad. I am watching a wonder . I think that thi spectacular picture isfull of force and beauty.
This strong image , with that incredible sky and the mountains slightly illuminated by a smooth light, is really powerful and beautiful.
Wonderful picture, my friend.
Saludos.
Pablo

Hello, Mohammad! It's a great picture with frightening spirit in it. It would be extremally dangerous to be on this peak when the storm comes...
