Visiting the Mosquee Photo

Photographer’s Note

An iranian lady visiting a mosquee in Isfahan, central Iran.
I have found, in my visit to Iran, that black dressed ladies were the right human presence to fill pictures like this.

Good use of a super wide angle lens. Great mosque colors, and the lady adds some presence. I would have waited a little bit more in order to avoid to get her right in the center of the picture.
Congratulations

Stefano
Belle et intéressante image avec une composition très réussie. L'endroit est très beau et la présence de la femme en noir est un plus incontestable.
Amicalement

Hi Stefano, very nice wide angle view of this beautiful architecture, Your POV and framing, also colors and composition are great as well as those wonderful tiles and ceiling details. The lady's walking straight up position added much to it. TFS. Have a nice weekend.
Çağla.

Hi Stefano.

What lens did you use for this photo? I think your composition is the key of this succesful photo... as also the presence of that woman and this nice architecture.

Well done.

Ciao Stefano!
The patterns, shapes and colors where magnificently captured here! Sharpness and exposure are excellent! Pov and vertical format were very good choices! The composition is quite effective with impressive visual results! The woman in there was a great idea to ensure this picture would be as eye-catching as it is!
TFS - congratulations!
Best regards,
Neyvan

What a wonderful shot Stefano. This interior of the mosque is so different. You could improve the contrast in the lower right to enhance the look and give the colours more "pop". Well done.

Hello Stefano,
The design work and decoration inside this mosque is spectacular, wonderful colours too. The 10mm has really done the job for you here.

Ciao Stefano,

Another great addition to your already impressive Iran gallery. Great wide angle view with the roof artwork stealing the show, yet this wouldn't have worked as it does without the woman walking there. Excellent stuff!

Ciao Stefano,

un'architettura straordinaria raccontata benissimo con un'ottima ricchezza di dettagli. La presenza umana è il giusto tocco in più. La distorsione grandangolare è accettabile pur di vedere il più possibile di questa meraviglia.

Bravo!

bonjour,
belle photo en hauteur, bon choix de cette salle de la mosquée.
Beaux travails des artistes qui ont décorré cette mosquée et de vous qui nous l' avez bien restitué.
De toute beauté et très bon POV.

Amitiés Thomas

Hello Stefano,

I really like the PoV in this picture and the wideangle lens is working so well in capturing the details on the walls and the dome.

Thanks for sharing

There is not other way to capture this, wide angle lenses is strongly recommended… very well angle chosen, including the woman is a good point too.

Best regards Stefano.

Wonderful - pattern shot where the lens distortions add to the feel of the picture, and then the sense of movement in the human figure.

danielswalsh (13318) 2009-08-19 18:46

Superb architecural shot Stefano. Strong lines and contrast, rich blues and the lady is exactly what this image needs to add that human touch to the shot.

Nice work,
- Dan

Gee, I'm definitely in love with your photos from Iran. This mosque is such a wonderful place but, like you said, black dressed lady, adds a human touch and makes the photo so much more interesting. The only thing I hate are the wires but that's not your fault. Another beautiful photo.
