Shah Mosque (in persan : Masjed-e Shāh) is a mosque in Isfahan (Eşfahān), Iran standing in south side of Naghsh-i Jahan Square. It has been renamed to Imam Mosque after Islamic Revolution.

Built during the Safavids period, it is an excellent example of Islamic architecture of Iran, and regarded as the masterpiece of Persian Architecture. The Imam Mosque of Esfahan is one of the everlasting masterpieces of architecture in Iran and all over the world. It is registered along with the Naghsh-i Jahan Square as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its construction began in 1611, and its splendor is mainly due to the beauty of its seven-color mosaic tiles and calligraphic inscriptions.

Je ne comprend pas j'ai l'impression qu'il y ait un montage, mais je n'en suis pas sure quelque fois la nature nous joue des tours et des effet d'optique... on a l'impression que le ciel vient d'une autre époque... j'aime beaucoup ce cadrage, félicitation et à bientôt...

Selam Mohammad,
fabulous shot
wonderful perspective
great light and colours
thank you for sharing

Oh yes this is a lovely shot with interesting light.
I can't tell if it's moonlight or just a dark sky?
Very good composition showing the details and colours which makes me want to visit!

Hello Mohammad,
Thanks to TE, I can discover the marvels of your wonderful country. This mosque is a true jewel and I love your composition. The idea of including the picture with the frame of the window is good and enhances the superb colors of the walls.
I hope to see this with my own eyes one day...
Have a nice day,
Best regards, Christian

Hi Mohammad. You have presented this interesting structure in a complex composition,full of varied shapes , rich colour and differing textures. But the whole thing hold together very well and makes a complete and satisfying image.No doubt the use of the great dark arch to frame the image help in this. It is a lovely record of an important site. Regards Kevin

Selam Mohammad. This is not just an architectural masterpiece, but your photo is also a masterpiece. The PoV, the light, the arch framing the details,the exquisite rendering of the colours and the inclusion of that mysterious sky- all make this a photo above other photos. Beautiful. Regards. Klaudio.

Hi Mohammad,
