Persepolis II, a photo from Fars, East

Photographer's Note

A capital with bull engraving.
There were 3 typical forms for the capital of a colunm :
bull/eagle/lion
each one in a sitting position,not one but double( mirrored considering a vertical axis in its back),
the engravings are made in such an abstractstyle
we always took pleasure in watching them :
great details, curves, lines, parts...
I'm sorry I don't have a more detailed picture to show you, to SEE what I say...
but you can see this link :

to see & to be charmed more...

I think you have portrayed this bull from a fine angle Fariba. It shows a lot of details of the artwork but also how it is attatched to the building. I am not so sure about the color, the bull looks to have a blue or magenta cast but that is hard to say as I have never seen this rock in real. I think you could have sharpened just a little more after resizing. Well done!

De très beaux détails et une belle présentation de ce taureau.
Il y'a une légère dominante de cyans mais qui n'enlève rien a la qualité de votre photo.
Bravo et merci Fariba du partage.

THis is a very nice detail, Fariba. Very nice tones, very well captured. This place looks so interesting. Do you think I'll have a chance to visit your country, someday..?

Great details Fariba! You did a great job by framing this composition. The colors are really good, giving us lots of textures and details.

Bravo Fariba,
L'angle est très bon, le sujet aussi.
Il y a juste un petit problème de couleur et de netteté. Le WS de Ebbe corrige très bien ces petits défauts.
Encore merci pour la qualité des notes.

Besides an interesting shot of a place that's hard to get to (for me at least), the peach and purple tones really help on this one.

Le sujet est à nouveau très intéressant. l'angle de prise de vue est bien choisi. Malgré un petit problème de netteté, bien corrigé par Ebbe, les détails restent bien visibles. Et toujours des explications très intéressantes. J'aime beaucoup cette série sur Persepolis.

Nice image Fariba. The scupture unbelievable.. I love the colors in this shot..
I love it, because I graduated in Scupture.

Nice picture. This is what I always believed Iran would look like. My ancestors / forefathers came from Iran. I always wanted to go there, but have never had the chance. Your photos help me to see it.
My cousin is named Percy and I thought he was named after the English name, but he may be named after Persepolis (who knows) :-)

Thanks for this.

Tres belle image qui me semble avoir autant de noblesse que vos intentions humanitaires.Et je vous cite....''I'd love to help make a better world for mankind''.
Merci de partager avec nous...

A great capture of a bull (are you sure its not a horse - sorry - you should know)
You got a very fine light on statue and get the details execellent captured - well done - thanks for sharing Fariba.

Photo prise à contre jour !!
Elle est réussie quant même, bonne perspective de prise de vue.
Couleur contraste et netteté un chouya de retouche, bonne retouche par Ebbe.
Il faut deviné pour le taureau (sans les cornes)….
Bon sujet et toujours un commentaire de qualité.
Te souhaite de belle photo J-P
