Superb capture of architecture and stones. The perspective is novel and greatly experimental and I like it for that. Good work. Superb indeed.

Hello Stephane,

The details are excellent. Your composition is very effective to show us the intricate details on the walls and pillars. The minaret is well framed on the left with attractive lines and shapes. Good light and colours to create a more natural view of the mosque. A good architectural shot. This building must be a beautiful place to visit. Thanks.

Splendid vertical composition. Fine exotic place.
Regards.

A very clean composition. The subjects are placed very accurately. I like the arch which cut part of the frame.
Excellent

Salaam Stephane,

Bonjour Stéphane,
This is really a great photo. You made wonderfully use of the arch and the beautiful decorations on the right hand side. The arch frames the minaret very well. Superb sharpness too and the lighting is marvellous, creating pleasant soft tones. Very artistic work, thanks for sharing!

Lars

Salut Stephane,
The vertical lines make the scene extraordinary.The razor sharp focus is excellent and i like your composition and choice of POV, as the sharpness and the clarity of the Grande Mosque has been captured superbly, wonderful light and brilliant colours, a very well crafted shot.Well done.

Have a nice week,Danos

Hi Stephane,

Excellent composition. I appreciate this way of representing an interesting place on a high artistic level very much.

Groet Rob

Salut Stéphane,
very unusual and very pleasant. I like this dividing - as I won't call it framing - but keeping them together, in connection. Superb textures achieved with a well balanced contrast and exposure.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

bonjour Stephane
belle composition graphique qui nous montre de beaux détails, lumiere/exposition parfait

Hi Stephane,
both - this one and even your ws - are really nice. A very nice perspective to cath the mosque behind the arch. So many beautiful ornaments.
You're a busy traveller. I envy you a bit. ;)
Best wishes,
Nino

bonjour stephane
c'est relativement rare de voir des photos de cette partie du monde, ici tu t'y es employé parfaitement avec cette composition architecturale bicolore,parfaitement réalisée.

WoW, c'est là que tu es allé !... Un voyage éclair alors...
Pas mal comme angle, on reconnait ta griffe...
La photo en WS a aussi un cadrage intéressant !
Bien vu, très élégant - la classe !
Cheers,
Cath.

Stephane bonsoir.

J'aime beaucoup cette composition cadrée très serré d'une partie de l'arche et d'une partie du minaret. C'est très graphique.
Du très beau travail.

Jacques

Bravo

Excellent play with geometry here, Stephane, really well framed picture from another world...

Cheers

Hi Stéphane,

this is perfect vertical shot. There is a nice graphism and no distortion at all. All the details are there to be visualized thanks to the efficient sharpness. Beautiful and well composed. Well done!

Bonsoir Stéphane,

Encore un beau voyage... Une belle image sur la finesse du travail architecturale. La bonne lumière met bien en valeur l'ensemble. Le cadrage est original, bien vu et intéressant. Merci pour la photo bonus qui nous permet d'apprécier ce magnifique minaret qui s'apparente à une fusée...

Avec toutes mes amitiés et une très bonne soirée,

Jean-Charles

Fantastic composition Stephane, such a graet dominance of the vertical lines and such a great DOF. I love it. Take care.

Bonjour Stéphane,
ton cadrage dans ce format vertical et avec la superposition de l'arc en formant un cadre au minaret il est fantastique, je crois que tu as obtenu un graphisme excellent.
La lumière et les couleurs sont très bien traitées, j'aime le résultat de qualité de la photo.
Une belle réalisation.
Amicalement,
Josep

Bonjour Stephane,
This is a great shot and I like the graphism, details and the very pleasant colour scheme. I must say I enjoyed looking at the intricate design and calligraphy, all made possible with your good technical control. Brilliant shot!!

Hello Stephane
Interesting framing, very innovative.….excellent sculpture work on the gate. Colour contrasts stand out. Really a modern structure as more clearly shown in WS, keeping the old in mind. Good work!

Salut Stephane,
J'ai manque plusieurs perles ces temps ci... j'étais sans le net au Cambodge... Notamment celle ci, au cadrage astucieux, lumière et couleurs, nettete et textures sont toutes parfaitement rendues.
Bien vu
Laurent

Beautiful Stephane!
What were you doing in Oman? and do you have any good recommendations for things to see in Muscat, I might go there in the near future.
The shot is clever, I do not believe I would have seen the possibilities in a cropped shot like this, but then again, It is not the first time you have surprised me.
Harry

This one stand out Stephene, as a great arrangement of verious ellements into a good and relevant composition.Regards Kevin

Exelent:

Hello Stephane,
Wonderful geometry & curves. Soothing colors & sharpness. I have yet to learn to take pictures like this. I almost always take a wider view of things ... never taking a small section of anything. Best Regards. Latiff.
