A superb forest shot. This kind of landscape is very amazing because it looks like all forests we have in Europa. It could be taken as well in France or in Belgium or other neighbooring countries... It's a really unusual side of Iran you're showing here !

We have a fabula ( from "La Fontaine" )
"The oak & the reed" .. the oak is strong but in case of violent wind could broken , the reed is weak but very flexible too , so not afraid of violent wind in any case it is folding himself and return to it's stand-up position after

Heyy! Would one be in Switzerland here, Mohammad? ; -) Funny these cows in the middle of the forest (a little like the horse yesterday). Decidedly you offer us very strange photos these last times :) Indeed, the "fallen hero" appears gigantic compared to the cow.
Technically, I like a lot the rendered of the colors : Brightness in the clearing and semi-obscurity in background giving a lot of beautiful shades.

Do you already have an idea of the model that you wish for your next camera, Mohammad? If it is not the case, here is the BEST site to compare the different models. But maybe you already know it...

Regards.
Phil.

This hero has gone down, but probably will rise again as a new tree. :-D

Very well seen, Mohammed.

Nicely done Mohammad. The trees verticality broken by the diagonality of the casualty. The cows add a good scaling to the size of this fallen tree.

Well done Sir,

Regards,

Vic, Singapore.

PS I never imagined the country in which you lived to be so green!

Very nice nature shot, strong green here with good details, quite strange to see cows in this area, good capture and comnposition, well done.

Another enchanted forest feel. The cows seem out of place here. They should be in a field according to normal stereotypes but here they are in a forest. And quite a magical forest with large trees and such a green. The fallen tree is huge and cuts a nice diagonal across this shot. Once again beautiful, soft and tranquil. Just a perfect setting. Very nice.

Just as Vic and others pointed out, even I didnt realise that parts of your country are so green. You have shown a couple of very different pictures of your country here. So thanks for that!

Nature's fury unleashed on the poor tree! If the forest was denser, it might trigger a domino effect with more trees crashing. The scale of the tree is brought out by the tiny cows.

kikvel (4784) 2004-09-15 9:29

without the cows I wouldnt imagine the dimensions involved here my friend.

Glad to see you fixed the scanner issue.

nicely seen!

Yes - truly a giant of a tree which fallen here - and the cows makes the size clear for us - a fine green image as well from this fine place - thanks Mohammad for sharing.

A beautiful shot of this forest, I like particularly the fallen tree, this tree died but, in the neighbourhoods, the life go on. The dead tree is clearly an important element to your picture, it creates a nice diagonal and it contrasts with all the surrounding living vegetation.
One thing, your picture seems to have a lack of sharpness.

Nice composition Mohammad!

stranger (726) 2004-09-16 16:35

Great shot , the green color almost captured me :)

rabani (9645) 2004-09-29 0:45

Yes very much so Mohammad. Salam Mohammad.You have a rich delicious green here. I/m beginning to like Iran and think it is not just sand and desert with white robe and turban men walking :) My only difficulty with your green forest is the ageing wood lying dead to dry here. When Hero Goes Down, It Goes Down Hard.

So many Persian landscapes, and none of them fit the western idealized stereotype. very nice, vivid frames...
