Marvelous colors, perfect framing and very nice composition. The several great colors gives a powerful effect to this picture. Congratulations.

Wonderful shot, Linda. I like the combination of beautiful yemen architecture and mysterious night sky. I think that coulour tones are well balanced. I like it. Good job...

Very intresting foto, i like the light foreground and dark sky in background, the spot lights make the picture more intresting.

Interesting... I like night photos like this one which are a combination of artificial light and the light in the sky. Nice work.

very nice colors, very nice sky also... i like the old style and the picture in general, quite interesting and pretty different than here..

Nice and sharp and great colors. The sky is very moody and the brightly lit bulidings in the foreground continue that. Also the weay they mix with the darker buildings in the back and imagined winding narrow alleys really create a very strong mood. Very nicely done.

A very well composed night shot. Nice contrast between the illuminated houses and dark sky. Satellite TV seems to be popular here.

Ow...Sana'a...a place i dream of visiting for a long time now.

Very nice shot too. The moonlight gives it a spooky atmopshere. I am looking forward to seeing more Yemen shots! ;-)

Belle image... mais quelle tristesse de voir ces immenses paraboles gagner les toits de cette si extraordinaire cité... Cadrage un peu "bas". Il manque un peu de tout premier plan à mon goût.

i am curious to know what light has been used to enlighten the building on the left.

A fabulous shot of some very interesting buildings. Great illumination and clarity. The streak of light across the sky is just perfect.

this is an extraordinary shot. I'd like to know more about it, a longer note. but the contrast between the beautiful old buildings and the sky is stunning. it's a pity there's that satellite dish on the left side building...
