The Rhithmic Arcs

the starting idea of creating an high contrast perspective is a very good one, also the perspective here is very interesting, stopping with a sudden wall... there are several flaws stopping the image from being a top score... in the order:

1. the light is too harsh, but worse than that is coming from behind the subject obliterating significantly the textures on the walls. since the location seems to miss the roof, then you could try shooting at midday, with the light coming from up thus very lateral respect the textures... walls should look great! either you could try a cloudy day, it lowers the contrast and brings up the textures, then you postprocess with photoshop at will.

2. the subject has too much contrast... the floor is too dark while the walls are too bright. this would be good for an high contrast image, but the contrast is soo much the image looks of difficult readability.

3. the crop is too wide... i would concentrate on a tigher crop on the arches... of course this would tell less about being in a mosque... but probably there are hundreds of way to depict a mosquee itself so this image should definitely go for an high-contrast, high-detail architectural closeup... if you want to remeber your audience that this building is not european-style, just add the top of the arches into the image, arches topping with a cuspid are trade-mark of oriental architecture.

said that, i hope you dont feel i am understimating the image, far from that i appreciate it, but i feel there are many margins of improvements.

kindest regards
