hi, thank you Mehrdad for the link to wikipedia about Vakil Mosque. Fantastic architecture, indeed. It's just to be amazed of what these craftsmen created with intricate patterns and angles.

The architecture dominates in the picture of high pillars, stonefloor which has got blue stick, and daylight. The people has a tendency to vanish in this huge place/room. But I think you have managed good, given the difficulties between the building and the people. /barbro

Dear Barbro, Thank you very much. I hope, one day you visit Iran and especially two historic cities of Isfahan and Shiraz. Warm and welcoming people with lots of such beauties and fantastic architectures. Thank you again and always welcome, Mehrdad

You made a very good picture of this beautiful architecture. To be honest, the gallery does not add much to the image, but the people do. cheers, hans

Dear Mehrdad, very nice shot. great angel and very good perspective. architecture of the place is full of colors and you took a very sharp shot. i wish you took some shot just from the roof of this place. well done.

Honestly, whatever art may be shown here, it's neither visible or presented in a considerable way in this composition, nor does it really have a chance to compete with the beauty of the architecture. As people and the blue plastic wall as well as the overall blueish tint in the lower part are rather disturbing than adding to the shot you might consider to crop them away for a fairly nice architectural study.
Regards, U.

Dear Ulrich, You are absolutely right. Those people and art Gallery not even add something to my shot but are distracting, but I had no way! Hehehehe Cheers and thanks a lot for the time and critique. Mehrdad

wht a spectacular place Mehrdad, and you have done a fine job of presenting it well. Very nice framing, and technically fine. The people and clutter at the far end do distract a little for me, but they do have the advantage of showing the scale of the place. Very nice work.

Dear Roland, Thank you very much. I agree with you about those people and clutter. Unfortunately I went there in a tourist rush time and photography was quite difficult at that time. Best Regards, Mehrdad
