Original shuting point. Has a post card style to it. Nice vibrant and opaque colors and very nice perspective.

Great perspective, like the repetetive patterns leading the eye straight to the blue spot.

Very clever photo. Great depth. Nice work.

excellent picture, absolutely magnificent shapes, I am adding it to my favorites because it is certainly one of the best photos that I`ve ever seen in my life. Unfortunately, I have to grade with a much debased and devalued 5 although your picture should certainly be rated higher than that.

Very Kool! - I think the idea is great even though I am not TOO crazy about the High Key Effect - I still think it is worth a 5.

beautifully done...the abstract forms fantastic...

What a concept Wahid. Sure well seen and unbelievably taken. Nice going.

I am sorry I cannot rate it twice:(

Roy, I think you are quite unfair. You can think that the message is OK without being exceptional or even good, hence the 3 grade, but I cannot image any travel agency that would possibly commission such a piece of work from a photographer. In my personal opinion, this is a very successful and complete piece of art, fit for an art gallery or a private collection, not a brochure of some commercial travel agency. Your artistic taste is great (as are some of your pictures), so I assume your comment was a result of some temporary blindness of sorts (I *hope* you weren`t malicious!).

Take a look at this picture again, it is absolutely fantastic.

I stopped on this picture the first time (I don`t typically comment the first time I view a picture) because I was attracted to the abstractness. The high key makes it different and quite original. I do find myself, however, trying to figure out exactly what this is instead of just enjoying the shapes and lines and that makes the picture a little unsettling to me. I`m not quite at piece with the picture, if you understand what I mean, but this might be a problem with me.

I don`t think this picture could`ve been sold to a travel agency. The picture doesn`t appear commercial at all to me, i.e. not mainstream enough.

Excellent DOF Wahid.

Magnificent the effect of the upper arches, where the white colors are confused pleasantly. The measurement of the light is extraordinary, the depth of field (diaphragm) is also it, providing as a group an abstract absolute one. Congratulations, Wahid.
