An Old Private House #2, a photo from Esfahan, East

Photographer's Note

* An Old Private House #1

* " Tabataba’ee house "
* It's built in 1840 – 1845
* Kashan city
* 240 km to the south of Tehran
* 220 km to the north of Esfahan
* at the edge of the central desert of Iran

The house has four big courtyards.There is a pound in central courdyard that it caused temperature of the rooms around the pound be more appealing cold especially in summer when a slight wind is blowing.

The name of the house is return to Mr.Jafar Tabataba’ee Natanzi,who was a merchant of the carpet in Iran.But the house was made by Mr.Ali Maryam who was a famous architect in Iran.

I'll continue the serie,hope you like it.

The light is beautiful, the reflection a good idea, producing a kind of mystery. You were right to put some water in the frame : it creates a strange sky.
A poetic shot.

I love houses with a pound at the courdyards, with red fished swimming up and down... Your photo makes me dream with this house I hopefully find some day. It looks like a wonderful place, like all the Iran you show us. Take care.

bantonbuju (51815) 2005-08-20 14:27

Mohammad, this photo is splendid! What a private house! Very sumptuous, tasteful, the reflection of the gorgeous house in the blue pond... superb. This is a scene one definitely doesn't see often, and it is a treasure, the way you have shot it! Bravo! Continue this series, I love it like many others for sure.

danby1 (3697) 2005-08-20 18:01

hey mohammad, good reflections and a nice shot, good detail in the water, did you think to turn the shot upside down (the right way up) i think this would be interesting to see to, would give it a dreamy look... i think... :S good shot!

oochappan (4880) 2005-08-21 0:02

Nicely seen this sharp reflection of this beautifull ornamented house, what a deep coloring.

weswang (18247) 2005-08-21 3:26

Hi Mohammad, A beautiful shot of the reflections. I do like the reverse version in your WS. It is amazing that you could get so clear image out from the reflection. I do like the effect of twisted view on the water wave. A well taken picture with great details and depth.

Galmeida (12559) 2005-08-21 3:43

Hello Mohammad,
For me you can continue thso interesting Serie. Culture and good captures by you!

Fine point of view and also interesting approach and vision. Water reflection and a inversed picture ???

Only you my friend.

Best to you.

Hi Mohammad,
What fantastic picture!I think this maybe the reflection of the midle of the house... It is or not? I like the very soft colours and the great composition. Very very very well done.

Orfeon

Janice (4403) 2005-08-21 5:38

Ah Mohammad, I wondered what was wrong with my eyes at first. The light is so bright, and the reflections quite amazing. Every little detail is shown. What a beautiful home it is. All that intricate patterns are beautiful. Well done and TFS>

This is a beautiful house with many interesting decorations. It’s still seen well through out the reflections. Waiting to see the rest :)

MvS (4163) 2005-08-21 17:07

Very nice colours and very clear. Often reflections have a deeper colour and come out very well likey this one.
Thanks,
Magnus

sengir (4956) 2005-08-21 17:42

beautiful Mohammad, I really like the quality of the photo (colours and clarity)
Thanks to Iranians love for water pools it's a great place to take this kind of reflected photos :)

Gregtom (7169) 2005-08-22 4:12

Hello, Mohammad!
Very interesting idea to show a house only in the reflection... Very sharp and vivid image with beautiful colors and contrast, shown in a very attractive form. Congratulations!
regards,
Greg

ChrisJ (172436) 2005-08-22 4:15

Hi Mohammad

I like the superb reflection. Excellent colour & sharpness. The intricate geometric patterns & artwork, of the mosque, are very attractive. Good work!

Kenny10pin (19301) 2005-08-22 10:03

very nice work here, I like the relfections in the water, very clear shot of the building, well done

jmdaoudal (82) 2005-08-22 12:25

This is a grreat idea to show through the reflection, the architcture is great, Colors are beautiful too.
Compliments

pamastro (7296) 2005-08-23 0:42

Well that's a good way to have air conditioning. :) I like the softness of the water on the architecture. It seems like seen directly it might have a bit of a hardness but seen in the water with the subtle movement of the water it has such a soft and inviting appearance. It's almost mirage like in its quality. And I can just imagine seeing a person wading through with the wake breaking the reflection. Colors and lighting are well taken too. Nicely seen Mohammad.

fahrik (175) 2005-08-23 4:05

I love houses ornamented with limestone like this (if it is a limestone) we do also have them a lot here.

Mafo (1339) 2005-08-23 4:34

Beautiful photo Mohammad!
Good idea with reflection i quiet water, nice colors and composition, great work!
Congratulation, regards

fireflyz (2097) 2005-08-23 17:37

Very sharp reflection with great light. The idea of flipping it upside down is very fresh! Very well done all together.. Bravo Mohammad!

hugolef (4913) 2005-08-24 14:13

Hello Mohammad
nice series, my favorites are #1 and this one, the others are nice, but i find them less beautiful, but they are good photo (i don't know if you understand what i mean, my english is too bad ...). #1 and #2 are pleasant to me.
this one is very special with this reflection, nice exposure and beautiful colors.
I hope the owner find them beautiful ...
Regards, hugues

maphoto (8082) 2005-08-24 20:29

Great refelction Mohammad, very nice architecture presented here in a special way, gorgeous perspective, excellent serie, thanks for sharing.

Jeppe (18654) 2005-08-25 16:02

Oh just lovely - a very fine way to present this amazing house front - the water surface gives not only an extra abstract image and moreover a very colourful photo due the way its done.

Thanks Mohammd for this - I like it very much.

Yours
J

Bonjour Mohammad,
Absente depuis un mois, quelle bonheur de retrouver de belles photos.
Cette magnifique dentelle se refletant dans le bassin, c'est absolument magnifique. Le cadrage, les couleurs, superbe et bien vu.
Amicalement.
Martine

PLD_images (7149) 2005-09-08 10:42

Such a beautifull image Mohammad. You indeed have a great eye!
Very good idea to only put the reflection in the frame. The colors are amazing and so is the sharpness. I also enjoy the patterns made by the waves.

Best wishes,
Paul
