Masjede Imam, a photo from Esfahan, East

Photographer's Note

Masjed-e-Shah or Imam is located at the Southern wing of Shah Square (or Emam Square nowdays) which is said to be one of the finest mosques in the world. It was built by the order of Shah Abbas the first by Ali Akbar Esfahni. It is a magnificent building one can spend hours admiring its architecture, this shot is taken approaching the inner courtyard. You can also see a water ponds which was used by worshipers when cleaning their hands and faces before each pray.

Hi Fara,

You have taken a great symmetrical approach to this shot and the building certainly does look magnificent. The shot is a little grainy, not sure wether it's due to high iso or over sharpening but it could be fixed in Photoshop.

Best regards,
Paul.

Hi Fara - I like the symmetry of the framing with the walls, and the ornate architecture is very eye catching, however I see 2 things that need improvement in post processing:
- the sky is way too grainy for a daytime digital photo
- it would be better to select the sky separately from the rest, invert the selection, and brighten the rest.

I tried a workshop to show what I mean.
