Not a skyscraper ..., a photo from Abu Dhabi, West

Photographer's Note

Not only sky scrapers in the Arab Emirates ... as this great Mosquee Cheik Zayed situated at Abu Dhabi.
On the photo, just a part of this monument built in 2007, 510 millions Euros, 20 000 m2, 4 towers 107 m and 82 domes.
The interior is wonderful ... my next post.

Hello Jean - I like the clean and uncluttered simplicity of this shot. The domes and minaret are beautifully balanced in the composition and the light is good emphasising the roundness of the domes very attractively. Wonderful. Warm regards Rosemary

jacquest (14486) 2012-04-15 4:50

Bonjour Jean,

La disyance sur le pavé donne de la profondeur. Les éléments architecturaux sont bien balancés entre le haut minaret et les domes. Excellent contrôle de la lumière et une qualité exceptionnelle de la netteté.

Meilleures salutations

fotoğrafınız gerçekten güzel ve çok iyi çekilmiş .kutlarım sanırım Arab Körfezinin en güzel camisi diyebilirim tabii birazcık aşırı luks.

josepmarin (55209) 2012-04-15 5:29

Bonjour, cher ami Jean,
l'architecture blanche de cette mosquée moderne est absolument impressionnante, par ses grandes dimensions, ses lignes et ses formes si majestueuses, et ses coupoles voluptueuses.
Tu as capté tout cela au moyen d'un bon cadrage, sous une lumière très bien traitée, et avec des couleurs douces très agréables.
La présence des gens est une référence excellente de l'échelle de ce monument magnifique.
Unbeau travail.
Bien amicalement,
Josep

Bonsoir Jean,

The pristine structure with a variety of geometric shapes is revealed in this architectural portrait so beautifully composed that I cannot imagine any improvement. I look forward to see in the interior in your next post.

Warm regards,

prasun984 (5590) 2012-04-15 8:23

Hi Jean,
Stunning graphism with a wise choice of a horizontal frame to fit in all of the Mosque reaching for the deep blue sky. Good sharpness & framing with nice warm white colour contrasts between the blue sky.

TFS,
Prasun

golus (2893) 2012-04-15 8:30

Hello JS,

Your wide angle composition and light management are both excellent here, and produced striking details and appealing colors. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes,

Bonjour Jean,

Perfect exposure on the white highlights & the worshippers add scale. Good repetition of the domes at left & the minaret against the blue sky adds graphism. Bon Dimanche!

ktanska (21637) 2012-04-15 11:04

Hi Jean,
What a magnificient place! Impressive architecture with egg shaped domes and tall minaret. Only those very tiny looking people reveal the scale. White and shiny marble looks perfect.
Sidelight showing shadow and sunshine shows good contrasts.

Hello Jean.
not a skyscrapper, but almosta skycrapper of money to build it :)

If the interior matches the outside (which I do not doubt) then it must something out of this world, s this view is already something pharaonic, but indeed very beautiful and outstanding.

I love all those domes on top of it, as i like all those archs and minaret. To be honest arabic architecture is among the ones that most fascination causes me and this is such a fine example.

Cheers.
Paulo

kato (7086) 2012-04-16 15:33

Hi Jean,

You're capturing well this mosque by a good composition and excellent tone/clarity, so it's interesting and impressive to see the clean/new mosque with interesting shape. Especially, It's interesting in many domes, many entrance gates and wide courtyard. So, the mosque of Islamic society has a peculiar style in architecture, is contrastive with the church of Western culture, and interesting.

Kind regards,
mikio

Cricri (87288) 2012-04-16 23:20

A poignant shot in excellent pov of this magnificent mosque, its architecture and all its splendour, a real cracker as the colour and detail are superb. Well exposed in fine clarity with the contrast against the blue adding to the impact of the scene. This makes an intriguing image. Just fascinating!

Bonjour Jean!

Un endroit merveilleux où nous sommes allés lors de notre voyage à Dubaï et à Abu Dhabi, malheureusement, le jour où nous n'avons pas pu entrer, et je ne pouvais faire quelques photos de l'extérieur, dont certaines que je l'ai montré dans TE, alors j'espère que vos photos à l'intérieur!

La lumière et le jeu des contrastes et des formes est grande, la netteté parfaite ...

Cordialement ...

Manu
