[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Sunset in Khiva, city walls, Uzbeksitan. Khiva is split into two parts. The outer town, called Dichan Kala, was formerly protected by a wall with 11 gates. The inner town, Itchan Kala, is encircled by walls, whose foundations are believed to have been laid in the 10th century. Present-day crenellated walls date back to the late 17th century and attain the height of 10 meters.

Wow this picture is awesome! Good lighting and POV.

Czesc Agnieszko!
Dokad to Ciebie zagnalo! Czyzby sladem Ryszarda Kapuscinskiego ("Kirgiz schodzi z konia")? Piekny widok. Dobre zdjecie. Swietna perspektywa. Dobra, zgaszona kolorystyka. Cieple oswietlenie.
Pozdrawiam!

I like the idea very much. I added a workshop where I played with levels and crop.
regards Stefano

hi ĆAgnieszka, excellent line of this fortification. Fine composition and color.

Good idea to capture a real nice detail
Congratulations

Agnieszka,
Your POV is outstanding causing the wall to look like a the back of a dragon. The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and detail. The strong angular lighting creates nice warm colors and deep shadows giving us nice contrast.
TFS,
Asa

really good perspective.a nice graphism.well done.

A: geometrically very appealing, even with the vestiges of modern city life in the background. Great evening light as well. regads, c

I agree this is a clever angle, though the note is too scant.

fascinating subject, good note and gorgeous light and shadow.

Brawo. Piękne zdjęcie. Dodatkowy plus - duży plus za destynację. Mur w tym świetle wygląda jakby to był herbatnik cynamonowy. Super. Więcej zdjęć stamtąd proszę!

Hi Agniezka,
wonderful curves and colours
well done
Karl
