Photographer’s Note

The Cactus with amazing varieties are very popular in Iran!...The people love this plants which has wonderful flowers.

I don't think that the cactus has an Iranian root,but You can find some kind of those originaly in wild's nature of south of Iran.

But,...now...,you can see a few kind of cactus in every Iranian houses.

what a delightful spring series you´ve been uploading, Mohammad!
is it a macro? Excellent composition and colors.

Geo (1239) 2005-05-17 12:34

Wow! I really like the way the cactus fills the frame making it look like they go on to infinity. Wonderful colour balance and composition.

Paolo (40763) 2005-05-17 12:34

Another wonderful shot Mohammad!
great composition, colorfull and with a good light!
thanks, ciao

I like the alignement of these cactus, echoing the alignement of needles on each plant. However, I would not dare to get too close...
I also like the yellow tops, that bring much colour to the picture.
A fantastic picture!

nice pattern here
technically it has two little problems: a yellow cast and some overexposure (which imo works, making it more abstract :)

Amazing graphism in this shot,Mohammad!
Excellent compo with tight framing of the diagonal rows.
Well done!

MiguelP (14338) 2005-05-17 13:54

Is this a photo of another planet? Very nice one, you confirm me the power of the short shot, I try to imagine another point of view but it seem very difficult to me because this is the one. Congratulations Mohammad.

HOBO (5244) 2005-05-17 14:04

Some of this species we call 'mother-in-law-seat' :-) Mohammand.
I like compositions with repeating patteres, specially whe originating from nature.

dkeus31 (26503) 2005-05-17 14:05

Hi Mohamad, the Iranian-flower-man! :)

Good sharpness and colors.
Nice repetitive motives.

srabbe (1424) 2005-05-17 14:43

Hello Mohammed,
I like these patterns and colors. This image looks in a way unreal, kind of psychadelic !
Sophie

Schultzy (5428) 2005-05-17 14:55

Hello Mohammad,
Nice repetitive effect. Nice colors also, good idea. Well done again !

Janice (4386) 2005-05-17 16:27

Definitely "Don't touch!" Beautiful shot here Mohammad of the cacti. Well done.

toni_al (15476) 2005-05-17 17:12

Hi Mohammad
Encore une très belle image, j'aime la repetition du motif
Magnifiquement cadrée
Toni

oochappan (22032) 2005-05-17 17:54

A good graphical approach of these cactus plants with an excellent diagonal view, I spot some total new subjects in your gallery, not easy on TE but nicely done with this one Mohammad.
Greetings
Henk

hdl (6737) 2005-05-17 18:16

Very nice Mohammad! Nice linearity in it, good framing and colour scheme. No, I won't touch this picture ;-))

BiRiNARES (477) 2005-05-17 20:17

as for me:middle east-flower-man:Mohammad..
good idea. Well done again!!
thanks Mohammad.cheers...

maurajn (902) 2005-05-17 22:05

Is this a cactus farm??

Cacti are fascinating and I can see why anyone would like to have some.

Nice look at the textures and uniformity and angles and circles...

apache (1426) 2005-05-17 22:15

Hi Mohammed,
Very good shot of a nicely arrayed cacti. Nice sharpness and clarity.
Well done
Ranjith

CliffW (2310) 2005-05-17 23:42

This may be one of the best pattern shots I've ever seen. Definitely one of the best using a subject that wasn't arranged specifically for the shot (or was it?)

The crests of the cacti are really enough for interest in themselves, but adding the spikes into it and the frame is really very full of interest. Very good!

cool_krishna (465) 2005-05-18 1:29

Mohammad, thats a very nice pattern of Cacti. Lovely uniform pattern and a nice tone. I like the color that has come out. Very nice.

weswang (18223) 2005-05-18 3:28

Hi Mohammad, A beautiful shot to have the perfectly lined up cactus. The combination of the repetition in the macro and micro form made this picture very attractive. A very well composed picture with clarity, details and sharpness. Well done.

ChrisJ (70521) 2005-05-18 3:29

Hi Mohammad

This is by far the best of the cacti series. Faultless! I like the repetition. Well done!

RGatward (19751) 2005-05-18 3:33

Very Dan like shot here Mohammad, and IMO the best of your plant series so far.

PixelTerror (87195) 2005-05-18 3:36

Hi Mohammad,
PLease don't take it bad, but I think I won't get too close to your photo today...
Very good use of the repetition and diagonal positioning here, details are great in the foreground and the blurrying DoF works well as in your previous photo.
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

papagolf21 (57015) 2005-05-18 6:09

Cher Mohammad,
Aucune inquiétude je ne touche pas, je regarde et je suis étonné par la similitude des cactus (formats identiques) !
Très bonne idée cette répétition presque à l'infini de cactus.
Merci aussi pour la note, j'apprends et je note !
Très bien fait.
Amitiés.
Philippe

loupiot (3909) 2005-05-18 6:26

Bonjour Mohammad,
Très jolie composition, pour un effet graphique admirablement réussi. L'image est bien nette, avec une bonne profondeur de champs. Merci pour le partage!

jhm (83786) 2005-05-18 7:07

Dear Mohammad,
The different lines together with the excellent colourtones make this picture very attractive for looking. Everything sharp and clear.
Greetings,
John.

Furachan (0) 2005-05-18 8:26

Stunning composition, Mohammad. The bokeh is out of this world...so carefully applied (with a dropper it feels like!) from foreground to back. Only two colors, green and ornage give the whole an eriee, surreal unity. Borders on abstract. Enormously pleasing image. Thank you, Francis

greg64g (11193) 2005-05-18 9:38

Hello Mohammad,

Nice cactus, this is well presented and very graphic. i like hte colors too.
cheers
greg

Steft (5962) 2005-05-18 10:41

Nice photo! I didn't know cactus plants are so populair in Iran. They used to be very populair in Holland as well some years ago, espcially the smaller ones.

Nice photo. I like the repition of shapes. Good titles as well. Nice and surrealistic colours. Thanks for sharing!

efimoore (2126) 2005-05-18 14:26

Good capture! Neat lines of Cactuses. I used to have a big collection of Succulents (Cactus with out the thorns). I bet you also have a lot of them around.
The composition is good, but it seems to have a yellow cast.

Booz (13892) 2005-05-18 15:23

I like the symetry of this foto - the cactus are beauty :)
Regards
Tomek

bibiweb (8) 2005-05-18 17:34

Hi Mohammad,
I think this is a great composition. The DOF is very good and I like the vivid colours. It's surprising the way all the cactus are so close to each other...
Regards,
Brigitte

johnhopkins (866) 2005-05-18 18:18

Excellent image Mohammad. The composition is great and gives a strong and pleasing geometric repetition to the picture. The colour and sharpness are excellent and the frame is a good choice.

stranger (720) 2005-05-19 2:08

Hi, wonderful shot :)& I agree with Mohammad about Cactus culture in Iran.Just I think alil bit more sharpness would make it fantastic :)

Good luck,
keep posting,

Shahab.

Mafo (1339) 2005-05-19 2:34

Another beautiful photo Mohammad!
Beautiful composition with cactus, nice pastel colors, good sharpnes and framing! Beautiful

jmdaoudal (82) 2005-05-19 3:32

The implantation is very graphic, and the regular concentration from these says of course that it would be not confortable to sit in even for a Fakir from india.
Well done
Jean Michel

Graal (59126) 2005-05-19 4:04

Hi Mohammad!
Good idea and very good shot. Here friends all told You. I like it, too. Well done.

jinju (14265) 2005-05-19 10:48

Wow, this is breathtaking. Ive never seen your work before, Im very impressed.

arnabchat (7058) 2005-05-19 15:58

you seem to have shifted to different subject these days. image quality top class, colors and light are perfect.

Hanssie (9133) 2005-05-22 4:34

Ha, ha, and it is a nice picture too !

ishai (4093) 2005-05-23 9:35

Very good capture
I like the composition the tight crop and the color
Might need some more contrast but
Its very very good

bazal (7898) 2005-05-23 9:49

Hi Mohammad. This is an original composition and an interesting idea in your young "botanic album". The repetition of patterns is really interesting and you've managed to apply a perfect crop. Great diagonals that separes the cactus alignments. Well done, and thanks for sharing !
Cheers !
LB.

pamastro (7215) 2005-05-25 1:03

I used to have two cacti and several before that. But I am so bad with plants that have all since died. I cannot even keep a simple cactus alive. :( This is a really great shot of these cacti. The diagonal, of course, adds that needed energy. And the colors and lines make it almost electric in appearance adding to that energy. And there is a nice three dimensionality to it with the cacti really making themselves stand out from the flat screen. Well done, Mohammad. And I think I will have to go out and try again with another cactus since they are interesting plants.

dominique (11414) 2005-05-30 10:55

Tres bonne idée , le cadrage est impressionnant , j'aime les couleurs et la composition . bien vu .

danielswalsh (13330) 2005-07-17 21:03

Another nice shot Mohammad;

I like the repetative pattern in the cactus. The colors and clarity are also good.
Well done...
- Dan

gelor (3224) 2005-08-11 7:38

Mohammad,
Je crois savoir que chez nous on appelle ces cactus des "coussins de belle-mère"... Je ne me prononce pas personnellement ! Très belle composition. Merci.
Gérard.

Bien (4729) 2005-08-24 8:20

I like this very original photo which has a psychedelic look. The repetition has a nice rhythm and the colors are pleasant and soft – opposed to its subject. It might have been worth shooting this image from a lower angle – but then again that might have been painful...

veronika (6022) 2006-05-06 10:43

Hello Mohammad i stopped at your gallery and WOOOW, your work is truly adorable!!
I like your pictures and especially this one caught my eyes in the first moment,, i love these plants! :)
Great planned shot with perfect light and compo, keep working like this Mohammad ;)
Vero

Thanks for kind words left on my pictures!

arizonaride (123) 2007-11-02 12:10

Wow ! A entire field of cacti ...
These ones are Echinocactus Grusonii, they can become as big as 50 centimeters diameter. Their roots are not Iranian, of course, they are from central Mexico.
These Mother-in-Law cushions are really lovely, the colors is respected. Great shot, TFS.
Cheers,

Emma
