Hi Wolfgang. Impressive mosque and against the pale sky and with your POV it seems to be floating, borne by the bright light. Regards. Klaudio.

Hallo Wolfgang
Eine wirklich imposante Moschee. Die Grösse des Bauwerks kommt dank deinem guten Blickwinkel sehr schön rüber. Das reine Weiss der Moschee macht den Bau um so imposanter als das keine störenden Farben oder Schnörkel das Bild stören.
Ich wünsche dir einen guten Sonntag.
Daniel

Hello Wolfgang,

You choose a vertical perspective with the minarettes oblique.
You create depth and perspective.
Perfect composition with natural colours.
Wonderful presentation, TFS.

Have a nice day,
John

Hello Wolfgang

The lens barrel distortion from the wide angled lens has been well managed with the vertical lines placed centrally rather than extreme left or right. Excellent sharpness and a good exposure on the bright highlights. Nice repetition of the minarets, turrets and cupolas. Tfs.

Hallo Wolfgang,
the light conditions were challenging I see but you did a great job here anyway.
I like this frontal symmetry, I have never seen this famous structure from this side. Great postcard like presentation, exactly as I like it.
That must have been a fantastic adventure!

Hola Wolfgang

Die Linsenverzerrung aus dem breiten Winkelobjektiv hat, gut mit den vertikalen Linien platziert zentral injustement als extrem links oder rechts gesteuert
Hervorragende Bildschärfe und eine gute Belichtung auf den hellen Lichtern
Nizza Wiederholung der Minarette, Türme und Kuppeln

Grüße
Maria

Hi Wolfgang
For photo opportunity this sight is obviously cant be ignored as the appropriate elements are there awaiting to be shot by keen eyed photographer thus it's a matter of right timing and creativity. You have optimised the space efficiently with the placement, depicting the true colours, superb contrast and finely composed shot. I love the depth and dof and appears as if the staircase is inviting viewers to explore around and eventually to the focal point. A fine shot with deep feel of the place. Congrats, Congrats.
Kind regards

inspite harsh light condition that contradict the white edifice, Wolfgang, and the slight lense-distortion, the sight is very attractive. Good choice to take this picture, as a tourists I reckon some objects avoided taking a photo, and regreted later.
Good evening,
Ike
