Emamzadè-yè-Mohammad Mahrug Photo

Photographer’s Note

When I reached Neishabur it was just my second day in Iran. My first aim was the holy city of Mashhad so I didn’t stopped in Tehran and by car I followed the northern edges of the desert of Dasht-é Kavir.

I was astonished when I visited at Neishabur the Emamzadè-yè-Mohammad Mahrug, a beautiful mausoleum with a 16th century dome. What I like more was the iwan with its elegant decorations and kufic characters. A pleasure for the eyes!

Hello Luca,
I love the patterns in this! They're very beautiful, especially when you've captured them sharp. The PoV you've chosen is excellent and I like your crop leaving the Arabic sentence just underneath the top bit of frame, which gives this picture it's title.
The only thing I'm not so sure of is the dark-ish bit in the centre...which kinda upsets the brightness balnce a bit.
Best regrds,
Cheukhin

Hi Luca,

the pattern are without a doubt stunning. The graphism here is impeccable. So is the symmetry. Fantastic work.

Good angle and sharp definition. Perfectly centered. Lovely pattern. Normally these kind of pictures are difficult to take because of teh lack of light, but you did a good job.
