Smile with Crystal Mosque, a photo from Terengganu, West

Photographer's Note

The Crystal Mosque or Masjid Kristal is a mosque in Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu, Malaysia. The mosque is located at Islamic Heritage Park in Wan Man Island. The mosque was constructed between 2006 and 2008. It was officially opened on 8 February 2008 by 13th Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin of Terengganu.

Since the mosque was build with pieces of glasses the reflection of the glasses on the body of the mosque has make the bulding changes colour with accordance to the changes of colour on the sky! Really great place to visit.

Hi Abie

Welcome to TE, I hope you will like the forum. Your idea was fine but with the execution you had a few problems. Sharpness and DOF are fine, no question, but you have to work with on the aperture. As you took the picture in late afternoon you cannot use F16. Better go for F8. I have taken the liberty to do some improvements to your picture and have posted it to you as a WS. Otherwise your picture and your note are fine. Keep it coming

Best regards from Alor Star

Hello Abie and welcome,
I agree with Urs comment but I had another approach to post process your image. I hope you don't mind a workshop trying to brighten up the foreground without overexposing the sky.
Regards,
Guy
