Hi Attila.

Good choice of frame, nice overall colours and good control of the exposure and noise.
I like the way two minarets are different :)

take care, Aleks

Hi Attila,
Good night shot for this attractive façade, with all the colourful window balconies. I like your POV from a distance and the warm human atmosphere, with all the people in there. Nice colours and lighting. Very good work!

Bonjour mon ami Attila,
Quel dommage que l'on ne puisse pas bénéficier d'une image plus grande pour admirer, contempler un tel spectacle !
Voilà le problème, l'on en veut toujours plus, il faut dire que la photographie mérite un agrandissement.
Très belle prise de vue.
Merci Attila.
Amitiés.
Philippe

A frame centered very well to give to symmetry to the set of this square and its buildings, with the minarets like axis.
Good exposure for a nocturnal photo, you have obtained very good lighting and smooth and clean colors. People give a great atmosphere him to this place.
Good photo.

You have to post more often, my friend. I cannot get enough of your work. Exquitise compositions from the most exotic places I can image. Plus a lesson in history and photography, all for the price of one. What a bargain!!

Cheers,

Emiel_Skyfreak (2976) 2006-09-22 8:40

Hello, good shot man.
Great sharpness and details. Also, I think, the light managment is very well. What about the composition? I think a few steps to left or especially right would have worked also well. Moving the fountain a bit to the left. You will lose the symmetry though, by doing that.
To sad of the people in the front, especially those men watching their camera..the ladies on the fountain are quite acceptable.
Great share anyway!

jaja1970 (1286) 2006-11-03 8:32

Hi Attila,

This is a very good night shot.
I am an Iranian but never been there!
Great compo and view, very well framed.

Good evening Attila
Very nice night composition with a good control of the exposure, we are able to appreciate the architecture details.
Cheers.

coco (27962) 2009-06-25 15:34

HI Attila.

The photo is good and also the composition and exposure. The worst of the photo? We don't see the blue hour and the sky is too dark.

Regards.
