pigeons of Kaaba, a photo from Makkah, East

Photographer's Note

You have seen too many pictures of Haram”Khana Kaaba “(House of Allah), but this one has different view. I was capturing pictures of minarets of the Kaaba from the balcony of Abraj-al-Bait (one of the tower near Kaaba). From no where two pigeons show up and landed on fence of balcony, of course it was opportunity which otherwise hard to get.
I would like to thank those pigeons for staying calm:)

Hello Mujtaba

This is a very unusual view of the Kaaba.
The way you've presented the minaret with these two pigeons is well seen.
The one on the left seems to hail you !
Great colors and sharpness, and a lovely original frame.

Regards,
Karine

Hello Mujtaba,

This is a very interesting image. The two pigeons frame the top of the minaret very well. The clarity and colours of the foreground lok great in my opinion. I feel that even without the pigeons this image would be attractive...The black frame you created for this image is awesome. I would like to know how or what program you used :-) Thanks!

Hi yar,

it took me a while to watch your photo because it is an unusual one. I feel like making some noise to send away the pigeons so I can admire the superb view on Kaaba, but in same time I would like to enjoy the pigeons grooming and their silhouettes... i guess u made it: 2 photos in one! I am seduced by the frame: calligraphy on upper part, modern fonts on your signature and despite their very different styles, they fit perfectly together. Also the entire frame melts with the pigeons silhouettes.

Thanks a lot!
E.

Hi Mutjaba!
Wonderful composition! The silhouettes of the pigeons and the city in background are just perfect. Very well framed, with very good colours and a beautiful sky.
