WOW - Mohammad - You change my imagination of Iran - it is a very various land - I like it
Regards
Tomek

Beautiful natural shot Mohammad - you make it possible to fall in love with a country at a distance - another wonderful land/skyscape from you - I love the dramatic relationships of the colour and the greys.

best wishes

Kev

J'aime la texture et les couleurs de la roche, qui ressort de façon très naturelle, comme si on y était. Le contraste est donc parfait, et la clarté aussi. Les nuages sont dramatiques. Bravo!

Hello Mohammad,
Very good photograph.
The light is amazing.
What a view...Take a deep breath ;o
Alex

Hi Mohammad,
a very well captured light and perspective. I like the nakedness of the mountains against the richly textured sky. a photo of excellent quality!
cheers.

Hello Mohammad,
Great shot ! A terrifying sky, so dark. And the light who comes just on the mountain in the foreground. Beautiful !
Compliments,

Yes Mohammad,
This is also a nice one, I like the low horizon and you know that, very well composed shot, very good sky and the contrast is nice by the shot, very good job my friend,

Hello Mohammed,

I really like this picture because of it's unusual " Vlaminck " style tones.. Almost monochrome except the brown mountain, I also like the darker top where the shadow falls, because it contrasts well with the gray: Good shot - Izzet Keribar

Fantastic view Mohammad, obviously the mountains are beautifull with it's colours and splashes of snow, but the grey, almost black powerfull sky makes this image very special.

Through your images I have learnt alot about Iran.
Peter

Hello Mohammad,
That's a very strange weather ! The light is very impressive and mysterious. Did you use "digital blending" to have such a result or is it 100 % natural. In each case the result is really great !

Bonjour Mohammad,
Vraiment un ciel parfait que tu as réussi là, toutes les nuances de gris y sont présentes et tranchantes, superbe collines colorées et ensoleillées en contraste avec ce ciel.
Merci pour le partage.

Very rich tones my friend. Mohammad you can feel the power in those clouds. I am going to post this as one of my favourites. thanks.

Belle composition j'aime l'ambiance et le caractere dramatique du ciel qui contraste bien avec cette legere lumiere sur la roche . Beau travail .

Beautiful Mohammad.
The last snow on the edge of the mountain marks the sharp difference between the dark clouds and the sunny colours of the mountain.
Very good composition!

What a light, Mohammad !
These grey clouds seem unreal, I would have thought you had desaturated the sky !
Sophie

Amazing moment you found, Mohammad. Very interesting effect to get this "naturally b&w" sky towering above the uniquely layerd brown mass of the mountainside. Great mood, I like it very much.

Amazing sky for this moody shot, almost looks lik eyou've destaturated it. Very nice effect the way the ligh shows up the strata on the cliffs.

A very dramatic lanscape shot, Mohammad. The heavy grey clouds and their shadow on the mountain, the snow and the colors of the mounatains are very contrastic. Quality of this picture is also very good. Very well done, my friend.

A grand magnanimous sky - awesome shades and a superb composition. It is Melville deMille..

Hi Mohammad, beautiful scenery, I like that you have kept a low perspective on the mountains and focused more on the dramatic sky. Very nice light control and a nice contrast between the almost monochromatic sky and the warm tones of the mountains. Well done!

Incredible perspective and capture, Mohammad. The sky is dramatic and the hillside so clear and well lit. It appears there are a few patches of snow there. Very well seen and well executed. I will press onward with my 20D with the encouragement of your wonderful results...

Indredible. I´m speechless Mohammad. What can I say? Which is prittiest, heaven or earth? Imposible to say because the compo is so good that makes equaly beauty both. Nature is amazing.

Wow, very dramatic! I like the dark sky and the threating clouds. There is only grey, white and brown here and that makes this photo very strong. Nice wide view on this beautiful landscape from Iran.

Olé cloud ! Very dramatic Mohammad, gret contrast and incredible light, wonderfulmountain view, excellent framing, well seen.

Hi Mohammad
Wuaoooooooooooo j'adore ce genre d'images le ciel est superbe et cette lumière totalement a mon goût, les pointes de neige ressortent très bien aussi joli travail
Very nice shot
Toni

Bonjour M,
No comment ? Très belle photo sobrement composée mais d'excellente qualité. La netteté est parfaite. Le ciel menaçant est très bien mis en valeur sur ces montagnes dont on voit les plis de la roche.
Merci !
Pierre

Very happy to see again this very particular mountains. You have here a lot of "modelé" due to the geological lines in different colors, and it makes a very good effect. The heavy sky above in these portportion gives a nice mood.
I like it

Nice dramatic atmosphere, I like it.
Well done

Good morning Mohammad,
This is a magnificent picture, so mysterious, and the power of this rock, brilliant composition,
Regards, Łukasz

Increadible detail and colours in the mountains and a fabulous stormy sky. Good capture of the contrasts here. The tiny patches of snow really grab the eye.

Very moody, great dramatic effect this mouintain shot with the heavy clouds. Seems a good weather to remain inside while the rain and storm pass by. Well made compo M, maybe a little less of the frame had worked as well as good. Good tech. behind this one

Hi, Mohammad,
What a dramatic photograph! It looks like you removed all the color from the sky, but I guess you didn't! I love those shots where you have the sun coming in and hitting a scene otherwise completely covered in deep, dark clouds. You have to be ready for when this happens, and you were!
Great shot,
Matt

Bonjour Mohammad
Le cadrage est très intéressant pour faire un bon documentaire cinématographique.
J'apprécie toujours l'intensité du ciel dramatique qui mérite de figurer dans le hall d'une exposition.
Hello Mohammad Framing is very interesting to make a cinematographic documentary good. I always appreciate the intensity of the dramatic sky which deserves to appear in the hall of a photo gallery.

Dear Mohammad
Truly wonderful - you captured a magic moment where the light changes between the dark clouds shadow - and the fine bright sunlight to give us the fine colours of the mountain.

Thanks a lot for this fine job.

Beautiful catch Mohammad, the light is perfectly handled here. This sky looks threatening and the landscape is wonderful. I like the diferents levels of colors of this clif.

Well done.

Oh my God, that looks terrifying. Such ink black clouds! Really impressive and almost surreal. Excellent composition!

Wooooow! Stunning!! I'm not sure if you read the book "Lord of the Rings", because if you did you will understand that it reminds me of The Land of Mordor. Where is this place with the snow-capped mountains?
A truly atmospheric image,

WELL DONE!!!

Shelly.

Another great picture, every color from the mountain to the sky to the snow is just really beautiful
