Photographer's Note
This is a view more close to the Abyaneh village than previous post as a landscape with title "The Red Village".
As I wrote before,The Abyaneh is located almost in center of Iran,300 Km far from Tehran,170 Km from Qom and 80 Km from Kaashaan,On the north-western slope of Karkas Mount(3899m).
I invite you to see the theme about the village that having poeple shot with its special dresses.
The red tonalities here is real,Houses are of red clay and being built on the mountain slope.
Welcome !

Hello Mohammad,
I like this shot very much, especially with the dark found forcing attention on the foreground. It is nicely composed and exposed. I will also see the "themes," you've suggested. Warm regards from Virginia,

Hello Mohammad,
This is the photo I was looking for earlier today when seeing the more landscape version.
I like this one because it's pretty detailed and sharp from a world so unknown to me. The light works very favorable as well. Thanks for sharing.

I love exceptions, exceptions makes the world more interesting. That΄s why this little blue touch has caught my attention. Beside I love this two light levels with the shadow of the clouds and the interesting arquitecture.
Take care my friend.

Hi Professor Hesamian,
Another fantastic picture of Abyaneh.
I really enjoy of red-brown colors and textures of buildings in this old village.
The blue tomb is like a raised precious stone in desert.
Well Done & Very TFS,
Javad.

It's so interesting view with the contrast of the blue dome and the red village,and also with the shadow that has covered some parts of the village.
Well composed

This is great Mohammad. I like how you framed this so as to exclude the sky, allowning us to enjoy the shapes and textures of the village and mountains.
The sunlit village makes a great contrast with the shadow on the hills behind, and the blue of the mosque(?) really does stand out.
The only thing that disturbs a bit is that tall tree in the foreground, but chopping it down for the sake of your photo was out of the question!
Good work, I like this one.
Cheers,
Ben

Hi Mohammad. A beautiful photo to illustrate the unique architecture and location of this place. Good graphical pattern provided by the houses that blend harmoniously into the landscape with their clay-colored façades. The ornate blue spire is a fun diversion in this composition, and the disposition of sunlight works out very well.

I really like the subtle light on the rock formation above the town, Mohammad. Interesting earthy red tone to the whole image, of course, too, which is set off well by the dry trees in the foreground. Ideally the blue accent might be farther from the edge of the frame, but the overall shot works very well. Regards, Ken.

Hi Mohammad,
I like very much this shot, the red background and the red tones in almost the whole frame seems to want silent the little blue standing up and saying: Here I am. This beautiful tower (a mosquee, I guess) is wonderful and enhances proudly its presence. It's a very beautiful shot, and very nice titre helping us to "read" the image. Thanks. Have a nice weekend,
Angel.

Hello Mohammed,
I am trying to think whether I would be able to discover where this great picture was shot if there were no caption underneath. I would probably guess the region due to the turquoise cone, but would not be sure enough. Having seen almost all eastern Turkey, this one is most interesting for me both geographically and as far as photography is concerned.

Mohammad, this photo brings so many memories, but the main one is maybe that this place was nearly the only one where I took my scarf off and had strange feeling of freedom, well besides moment when we have been on dunes :-) It is great photo of beautiful and unusual place surrounded by fantastic nature.

Hi Mohammad,
Intense and dramatic lighting and shadow effects really accentuates the appeal of the shot. I really like the foreground trees and the hues there which contrast so sharply with the buildings. The depth is impressive and the eye discerns the varying contours of the land. Crisp and clear. Well captured.

I hope you don’t mind, but I added this intriguing picture to my theme “Lost blue object” for the blue dome is really lost between all that red roofs.
Really eye catching!

Beauiful view of this very well-preserved traditional village. The tight crop offers a very nice graphism and allows nevertheless enjoying the first slopes of the scenic mountain landscape at the background.
Wonderfu light management.
Thanks for sharing!

Hi Mohammad. What a wonderful effect of the light and shade you have here. The village looks superb as it emerges from the shadowed area with such sharpness and clarity, and you have been able to draw out attention to that bright blue building. It is a pity the trees are so tall, but the photo still has a great sense of depth, and the rich colour of the houses is wonderful.
Regards,
Andrew

Hello Mohammad,
I don't know if I would like to live in this place but it definite looks wonderful in your picture! The composition is very good and the timing was perfect. I love the way you caught the shadow over the upper half of the picture while the lower half is still in the sunlight. The blue tower really stands out from the rest of the red village! Excellent job! Congratulations and TFS!

I remember this theme (given long time ago :-)) and it was nice to find again in the colors of the dress and the people you have photographied.
I like this photo, you are framing the village very well to give the best of it and the blue religious tower is well place in opposition to the color of the other buildings.
I like it

Hi Mohammad, I remember that I visited this village with friends, but it is some years now and I imagined it more green and less red - also, this village was partly deserted by the young generation, and now some buildings look almost new - could it be a renaissance ?

Hi Mohammad, its unusual how the light falls here. At first i thought it might have been good to use a graduated filter to even out the difference in brightness. But the light does bring attention to the town so has a purpose.
