Hi Gert
forgive me if I have asked you once already...but something in the bg really caught my attention...and i'm sure you're guessing correctly - those 2 twin towers that look like Lego.
what the heck is that? it looks like something I would hunt down and go photograph. is it a high rise apartment building? a business tower? I'd like to see more of that...its so interesting how they're built by the same owner/engineer but they're separate. I need to know more haha. wonderful day for photo here, looks like a great spot for a pic nic. lovely
cheers

Hi Costantino
this is a new type of composition for you, I like that you added in the red/pink flowers on the vertical, it came out very well. Very peaceful and relaxing atmosphere
cheers

Hi Ali
wonderful landscapes from Iran, this is so good to see.
Its so easy to think of countries in your area that are mostly desert landscapes...so this is quite refreshing to see, I really like it. thanks for posting this scene
cheers

hi Jorge
I actually find this scene pretty cool and futuristic, like seeing the world 1000 years from now haha. it looks very much like a Soviet Communist type of construction, large grey blocks of concrete...or at least from far away anyways. lighting wasn't your friend, but I still enjoy it
cheers

Hi Mariusz
its always fun to see these scenes that we've been to ourselves. I look at this and I think...how come I didn't get this compo? but that's part of the joy too, seeing how other photographers see the world. glad you were able to fit in the 3 large arches on the left, that's important. great box composition yet still looking kind of vertical. great one
cheers

Hi Kari
now this is just TOO good to pass up on. I bet if these were grey or beige it would look quite unappealing, yet give them some bright colors and it totally changes everything.
glad you posted this
cheers

Hi Silvio
you could easily see this being used in some sort of horror movie, it just has that look and feel to it. at night time it must really look haunting. love the subject
cheers

Hi Pavle
very interesting and different subject here. the monument looks so formal and well done, yet the man up top almost looks like a comic, not very formal or real at all. odd, but certainly worth of a post
cheers

Hi Luciano
mother nature sure is a wild and beautiful thing.
very cool indeed. You'd really like going to the Conservatory in the latest photos, so would Silvio, lots of birds and butterflies. lucky for you that he just sat here so calmly for you, looks great
cheers

Hi Piotr
its awesome how these towns find their way among the gulleys and valley's like this, in the middle of mountains on each side. what a wonderful visual. I wonder what it must be like to live here. attractive light. cheers

Hi David
I absolutely love these old churches and towers and castles, they're so interesting and really go back into history. Very good story to go along with the photo too. the headstones add a cool element. very nice
cheers

Hi Paul
the lighting here is terrible haha..but I guess that's kind of the point. you totally lucked out timing wise, to have the white hot sun directly behind the tower, giving it that halo effect. I really like the WS #1. good shots
cheers

Hi Luis
I can easily see why people are liking this scene, I would love to be here in person to see these views. love that band of clouds that stream across the bg, this is just SOOO good. love it. cheers

Hi Murat
yes, what a difference the wires make when they're edited out.
I gotta say, it does look better. maybe its an illusion, but the man standing atop the monument looks VERY SMALL in relation to the monument itself. is it just me? interesting visual for sure. cheers

Hi Ike
I like the lighthouse in the WS too, but too bad its backlit.
Wonder what it would be like to own and operate a yacht like those bigger ones, must cost SO much money. looks like a classic Florida day, very nice. cheers

Hi Chris

very cool
cheers

Hi Kari
haha, funny and clever guy...using the tripod and timer to escape the selfie :) I like that you got the people in the shot, not something I would have thought to do - but they really do enhance the scene. The people give depth, like a FG and BG separation. very cool
cheers

Hi Ike
the Hurcules! I have flown on this plan a few times, as my father is a Military man, he can take his family on the Hercules for $1 each! True story. that was back in the 90's, its probably not allowed any more - the world is a different place now! lovely shot, its cool to see the fat plane from this pov. cool to actually see a good plane photo where the plane is on the ground. cheers

the light here is perfect, striking all your subjects.
and ya, you couldn't have asked for better weather.
looks great
cheers
