Gorgeous !, a photo from Abu Dhabi, West

Photographer's Note

The interior of the Cheik Zayed Mosquee (Abu Dhabi).
The exterior with its white marble, its minarets and domes is beautiful, the interior is gorgeous !
A chandelier of 15 meters high and 10 m in diameter bright bursts of miles, on the prayer rug on the floor, the world's largest (47 tons and 1,200 weavers to achieve).
The Great Mosque of Abu Dhabi is one of the few Mosque open to visitors even for non-Muslims.

Ciao Jean Saint,
sono rimasto folgorato dalla bellezza e dall'imponenza di questi interni. Davvero incredibile la maestosità dell'enorme candelabro che scende dal soffitto.
I decori sono molto eleganti, e la loro finezza è apprezzabile grazie all'eccelsa qualità dello scatto.
Un caro saluto
Giorgio

Hello Jean,
the impressive elaborate architecture and decoration of the mosque is presented here in a most delightful way. The excellent framing enhances the symmetry and outlines the combination and interaction of fascinating architectural features. The depth and perspective produced by your marvellous point of view and framing are great. The beauty of this interior photo is greatly supported by the exquisite light management and clarity. I like very much the peaceful and suggestive atmosphere. The soft colours and mild contrasts, the balanced handling of so many details make this a picture of extraordinary beauty.
Congratulations and thank you!
All the best,
Ourania

Salut cher Jean

A very impressive mosque, beautifully photographed where you have managed the light superbly. The light looks to have been very scarce, so the sharpness is impressive. Beautiful details and symmetry. Felicitations.

Bonsoir Jean,

The silhouetted people in the doorway add interest and the view through the fg arch adds diminishing linear perspective & vanishing point where the bg light & door are located. Exquisite patterns, shapes, colors, & designs in the Mosque. Tfs!

josepmarin (55063) 2012-04-18 4:00

Bonjour, cher ami Jean,
l'intérieur de cette mosquée est spectaculaire, comme son extérieur que nous avons déjà vu dans ta présentation dernière.
Tu as captée la grande richesse ornementale de l'intérieur, de ses belles colonnes et ses arcs, et as pointé notre attention sur le lustre impressionnant pendu de la coupole principale, avec ses belles couleurs, sur une image avec une lumière très bien traitée.
Un travail excellent.
Bien amicalement,
Josep

mesutilgim (68036) 2012-04-18 12:52

Hello Jean,
Nice capture of this conteporary mosque in Abu Dhabi.
My opinion is that the sacral architecture here in Turkey (specially during the Ottoman Empire) is better as they didn't use such gorgeus elements (like the chandellier here for example) but used much simpler elements. Nothing should disturb the concentration of the prayer.
But different countries, different tastes !
TFS and best regards

Ciao Jean
una foto stupenda che ancora non avevo avuto modo di vedere e che per la quale mi complimento.
Ottima in tutto: dal soggetto, al taglio, ai colori alla stupenda nitidezza che permette di godere di tutti i dettagli.
Stupenda anche nella perfetta simmetria e nel punto di ripresa.
Bravissimo.
Ciao e buona serata
