Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque, a photo from Esfahan, East

Photographer's Note

The dome of Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque.

Wish I had a wider lens for this shot. My 17-30mm lens plus the 1.6 multiplier on my D60 gives me 27.2mm at the wide end, which is not enough to get the entire dome in the frame. Like most of the mosque we visited, the lighting inside is very poor, probably to preserve the beautiful tilework. An Iranian student kindly let me use his tripod for a couple of shots.

good composition. details look a bit soft though perhaps because you have reduced the size and some details are gone in resampling. i tried a WS but didnt manage to bring out the details. its a pitty the upper left is shaded. the lights that come out of windows are nicely captured.

Gorgeous ceiling, very rich colors that you've captured.

I don't know if there was any other way to frame this, but it feels like it would have been better if the top corners were different.

Got more shots from here?
