Reflections, a photo from Tehran, East

Photographer's Note

Inside of Emamzadeh Hashem's Shrine
Mirror work is a traditional islamic architecture used in many religious tombs of Iran. Thousands of small peices of mirrors are arranged to shape 3D broken or curved shells.
Reflections are always beautiful for me and can inspire the spirituality of the place.

Hi Reza
I like the perspective of the pilliars & arches in this shot. I feel as the topic is reflection, therefore, the pics should be lighter. I did a workshop for this. Hope you will like it.
Thanks for sharing

Quite impressive structure. Pretty difficult shot as far as finding the proper exposure. In my opinion it may be slightly over exposed actually. I like your vertical composition it works well here, I think the image could use a 1 degree ccw rotation. I think to truely portray it's beauty it would take either a film camera or five exposures merged to a HDR image to capture an acceptable dynamic range. Provided of course you had a tripod available. Either way good result, the highlights just seem a little overwhelming.

Amazing shot of this architectural wonder. I can imagine that it might have pretty challenging to get a good and balanced exposure. It seems that the chandeliers are slightly overexposed, but nothing bad. The picture has a slight tilt to the right and this could be easily fixed with PS.
