With such great overlapping image you don`t need to add any thing more (my opinion),contrast,shape,tone,and lights works as architectural elements jostle for dominace..great day with great art ..Saeed

Hugo, there is a decisive moment in this picture!
Shadows and lighting wouldn?t compose such an expressive effect a few minutes laters (or earlier).
Wonderful shot turned into a powerful composition.
Congrats,

WOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!!
Hugo I have a shot similar to this but your is better than mine!!
Your speach is correct (description in about)but in my opinion the only thing i'd modified it could be the choice between colors and B/W.
This kind of shot is ideal for B/W,to enphasize shadows and lights (black and white)and the geometrical shapes maded by.
About a human presence? yes i agree with you but in this case you made an architectural shot so that a human presence could be suggest another feeling to the general atmosphere.
perhaps a light unsharp mask could be improve a bit the intire scene but I'd be curious to see in in B/W...can I try to do it?
All the best
Paolo

Love the geometry and shadows, and the great depth the converging arches give to this image. I feel a waiting sensation which does create tension. This maybe due to expecting a figure perhaps hostile appearing unexpectedly from one of the many arches.
Best regards,
Graham.

I think this was a very good choice, although as you say certainly not the only one. I love stereoscopic photography despite the pain of ancient and temperamental equipment and the fuss and bother of processing two images at a time... and this would be a wonderful subject for 3D photo. As it is, you've made a two-dimensional photo look almost three dimensional. Quite a trick. You did well to get the depth of field at 80mm. I reach for the wider angle lens, exaggerate the perspective, and rely on the greater DOF. You did it the hard way! Well done...

geometrisch is het een perfecte foto wat ik mooi vind in het gang pad is de schaduw en niet te vergeten het licht en dat maakt de foto zo intressant hugo!!
vak werk hoor!!

Dear Hugo!
I am very interested of photos of Iran; maybe because of I am Iranian!
I have very nice memories from Ispahan and you are lucky that could be there.
Anyway something interesting about reading a photo is that we people who write from left to right read pictures from left to right and for those who write from right to left they read pictures from right to leave,
A roll which I use when I compose a picture is that if you draw a line from a corner of picture diagonally and draw another line from other corner which could make an 90 degree angel with the first line then you can put your interesting part of you picture on that line, then it will be perfect, you will see from those attachment which I send it to you, first I tried to crop your image to achieve what I mean but the result was a hard cropping which wasn?t good, but did flip horizontally you image and it seems that important point of picture goes to right place, have a look, if you have any question just e-mail me to dan@rsp.nu
best regards
Danish

..Hi Hugo.. in my last photo.. I used an orange filter of the cokin to increase the already orange coloration of the sky.. how you see use still the film and the scanner above all on the photograph "monochromatic" often is troubled from the grain. compliments still for the yours last photograph.. very simple like consistency and attractive also for this. To soon roby

i don't miss any person in this picture: the depth effect and especially lighting would be disrupted if another object was in the picture. therefore, i really like this picture and i understand why you call this a 'clean shot'. i will call it a 'great shot'! :)

Great depth, Hugo. The color and definition is really good. I think you are right about having someone in the photo. I think that two kids playing hide and seek, having one hiding behind at the right of the second arch and another about to find him would be nice and both with happy faces ofcourse. Well thats my humble opinion, but it is a very good picture. I like it a lot!!!
Congrats,
Raamses.

Hey Hugo!
Very well done!
I have a very much the same shot... I ll put up that you can judge it!
It's not as good as this one but still... I'll read about it, when you see it!
PS: MSTIFIED; No I didn't use flash! It was quite a bright day, due to a lot of snow and clean airin the alps! You can see I used 1/180s timing! Do you suggest that I should go to 1/60 and increase the f to f22, that I could use flash?

I like all the bridges in Isfa, and hope to see more,

The perspective is really great! You did well to choose the long focal point.
Including a person could give a better impression of the size of the building, or act as a point of attraction (the latter is not really necessary here because you already heve a point of attraction due to the converging lines). As you are making a triptych in which the architecture is most important, I would say you made the right choice not to include persons. Small remark: the image seems a bit tilted. I think the lens was pointing a little bit downwards. Did you notice it? Could be that you needed the downward direction to get a better composition. Would be interesting to know...

Hi Hug,,,... it?s me again...
Can't get rid of me?
Well just this one... then I go.
EOS 30 has synchronization to 1/125 for flash. I always shoot in complete manual mode and flash only works if I lift it up.... I didn't do so from following reasons:
I was quite some meters away and I had to use full zoom, because trees were too far.
I guessed flash wouldn't bring the efect.
Because of zoom I had to use short time (1/180s; no tripod around again...), so I decided to overexpose it. Instead of f4.5 as camera measured I used fi8 what came out as +1.5.
WAS I AT LEAST ON THE RIGHT WAY PROFFESSOR? .....:) (please, say YES)

hi hugo,
i will add my humble comment to this long, almost intimidating list...first of all, i agree wth you: i tend to like the inclusion of one/more person/s or silhouette in pictures with lines, shades, geometries and repetion, as they normally break the rithm adding a distinctive character. in this case, though i think it perfectly works as a "clean" shot - the eye i gently directed to the vanishing point- just beautiful. it is maybe a little distracting the large bright light on the wall, before getting interrupted by the first shade. Sunset man's suggestion could be a good hint. and i always wonder abou b&w...
great shot,
am

Dear Hugo!
Simple and very nice composition! Interesting it looks like a bit soft, F22 is great to do this with excellent wide DOF, may be the 640x480 is too low for this as for some other too detailed pics.
Very nice!!! Congratulation!
I made a small adjustment transf to B&W -11 Brightness and +4 Contrast and then negative it.

Hi Hugo, when I eas just looking arround in your portfolio, I saw this one. I like it a lot, love arches, but this one with all those shadows and light, is awesome. However not meant as an atmospheric depiction, do I think it was a very hot afternoon over there, that's what I sense when I look at this one. Very good shot IMO.
