kandovan ,a small village near Tabriz_west north of Iran_is an incredible historical and geographical landscape for its bizarre houses which are naturally carved inside rocks, some of these houses are still habitable.
thanks to the happy faces who let me take this shot!

c'est une photo bien composée. Le premier plan avec le linge est original. L'attitude des enfants, même si ils posent, laisse transparaitre la tranquilité et la joie.
bravo

Hi Zahra,
an amazing place and lovely children ! Didn´t know that you have such villages in Iran, I only knew this type of houses from Turkey and als Teneriffa island. How I wish to see this once, our earth offers such a lot of beauty..
Cheers Chris

hi zahra
lovely idea. i like the color themes in the photograph, where in the background you have the rugged brown of the hills and blue sky, and in th e foreground lovely kids with a riot of colors surounding them.
i just felt that clothes on the clothesline in the upper part of the picture tend to draw one attention away from the kids.
take care
ciao

Hi Zahra,
It's a really interesting Iranian village shot in right moment.
Elements are wonderful and they are in perfect position.
Light, Colors and composition are well.
I think sharpness is a little bit affected by size reduction process.

Thanks for sharing
Mohammad
