[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
In the bosom of a low rocky hill (Hussein mountain) some 6 kilometres northwest of Persepolis, the mighty kings of ancient Persia built a great necropolis known today as "Naqsh e Rostam" (= "the Picture of Rostam"), from the Sassanian carvings below the tombs, which were thought to represent the mythical hero Rostam. The original name of this burial place is lost forever. From right to left you can see in this panoramic shot, four rock-hewn tombs of Xerxes (Khashayarsha in Persian), Darius the Great, Artaxerxes I (Ardeshir I in Persian) & Darius II, respectively.

Dear Sahail,
The main topic is very interesting, however the sky is so artificially added that it kills the picture in my view.

Dear Sohail
what a beautiful image you have created. my only concern is the small building in the left! it seams not straight
over all you have done a great job
welldone and keep it up

ُSalam,
I like this , because I can see all tombs in a panoramic shot.
Very interesting image and note.
TFS,
Atousa

blatant and bad post-processing, the sky looks like a gradient and not even a real sky. if you are going to make an image into a lie, at least do a good job presenting it. other than that, you present a good view of this, with an interesting note.
