The composition is great. But the details in the mountain seems to be a bit overly sharpened. I think with less sharpen this is an awesome shot.

It is possible that it is not very sharp - although to my eyes it is (sharp) - but it is, truly, beautiful!!!. Rich colors and very good framing. I like it a lot. The note is outstanding. Congratulations, John.

Sharpness isn't critical here, Mohammad, it's the forms and colors that make this one truly beautiful! Outstanding composition. Regards, Ken.

I can't make any technical comment to the photo.
I sense it's useless cause it's perfect for me
I would rather write a poem for this photo.



***Loneliness***

Hearing the whispers around
Looking for someone.
Knowing you are alone.
Fear inside your vessels, knowing that it will last forever.

Feel The Loneliness inside
Try to find your destiny within
Shadows walk around you.
But nothing inside them.

Be strong to fight with Loneliness
Can take your soul when u are weak
So hard to dare.
However u must survive.

Hi Mohammad - Wow what a play with colours you captured here - the change of tones truly wonderful to watch - Thanks for sharing this lovely catch with us - I like it very much - a favorite.

I Noticed you where having problem with sharpness of this photo. I wonder if we have the same 20D problem.

When I try shot landscape can I only get a sharp horizon if I zoom in first, press half down, zoom out and the shot.
If I try to focus without zooming the focus will be around 3 meters and Ill never get a sharp image - Quite confusing to get home with bad images, wonder if your facing the same problems.

Have a nice weekend
Yours
J

Hi Mohammad,
Glad to see you again and with a splendid and very beautiful shot. I like the way you composed this picture of Damavand peak. My last one is also a Mountain Peak. The sky is wonderful and your perspective very good. Nice luminosity and composition.

Congratulations, very well done and have a nice Weekend.

Bonsoir mon ami Mohammad,
L'on dirait une pyramide qui souhaiterait atteindre le ciel. La majesté de cette montagne couverte d'un manteau de neige est un pur régal pour les yeux avec ce ciel qui semble venir d'ailleurs.
Une photo de grande qualité, Mohammad.
Un grand merci du partage.
Amitiés.

Hello Mohammad;

An amazing shot. The composition is very simple yet strong- and the colors truly make the image work. Shame about the scratches in the glass, but considering the circumstances- I think you did a great job.

Well done Mohammad,

You do not tell it in your note but I guess the picture was taken from a plane. If the mountain is so close to Tehran, the plane was probably flying low approaching the airport.
This photo remembers me one I took from the over the Alps in Switzerland. The major difficulty in the PP was to eliminate the grey tone that the airplane window and the air caused. You solved it here with charm and at the end you have an nice picture with these stripes in the sky. Perhaps a little problem in the post-procesing was that there appears some pixelitation. Volcanos are very impressive because they are normally isolated from other peaks and are nice to photograph. So you choosed a good subject, probably after waiting for your chance in a beautiful morning.

How are you doing? I haven't been to your portfolio in a while. What an amazing photo! Very special, with the red color that seems irrelevant to the mountain. Beautiful...

Colors are here a feast Mohammad, the soft gradiants and the contrasting pastels of the pink to the blue dominating sky and snowy mountain is really the eyepuller here, maybe the sharpening was not so explicit necessairy here. A great powerfull shot.

• MiguelP (12471)
• [2005-11-25 0:56]

Excellent shot Mohammad, the colors are marvelous but the most important thing for me is that I can find a balance in the frame that relax me a lot, it has a painting quality (due to the colors) that keeps you seing the photo for quite a time. Among your best.

Dear Mohammad,
you have a great portfolio!
My first approach is this one! I have to say that the colours are so attractive as well as the framing. The photographer's success depends a lot on how much affluent is the field of action. In your case this field is really rich! Wonderful places!
I think that you should have used a tripod for the shutter speed is slow. Nevertheless the whole atmosphere is quite good for me!
Thank you very much for sharing.
