Nancy these are two very nice images providing an excellent representation for this building. I really like your main image. The warm light of the foreground contrast well with the cold light in the background. I am wondering if you could go a little lower so you would have cut the top of the minaret. Your secondary image is very nice but it would benefit from some straightening and horizon correction.

best wishes

I really like how the arches frame other domes in the background and the lovely reflections in the foreground. Beautiful balance between the gold and the white elements in the first image.   Posted: 05/12/2025 08:27:21

I like the warm tones of the foreground of the image with the shadows leading us into the arches which frame the Palace in the background. Thee othr picture is also excellent with the reflections in the polished stone floor.   Posted: 05/13/2025 15:00:47

I liked the idea of frame in frame, the difference in the tones of f/g & b/g, reflections at f/g to lead us at b/g but no f/g arc covers any dome in b/g full. all domes got cut. I would have preferred moving right or left, or capturing only one or 2 arcs, to concentrate covering a dome full.

Hello Nancy - I love the tones of this - you controlled the light very well. I also like the reflections. You will have had to decide which of the far originals to get in within the arches as well as considering their height. As the top domes and column are significant shapes, I feel that these or some of at least should have been more fully visible to make the overall image sign better. It nevertheless is a lovely scene.
