A beautiful sunrise at Maranjab dried salt-lake, located at central

IRAN. Please view it larger by clicking on it. Thank you so much for

your thoughts and advices.

Superb work Hamid,The exposure is spot on so is the composition,this is very similar to the salt lake in Larnaca,Cyprus,even to the mountains in the background,I am there though at the wrong time of the year to capture the salt  patterns,beautiful shot,top marks from me

Hamid, I am not sure what creates the pattern over the landscape here, but it is certainly interesting and beautiful. It looks like a massive expanse of flatness with the mountains in the distant background. 

This is spectacular, Hamid. The lighting has emphasized the patterns very well and with your excellent exposure, this image is outstanding. Best regards!- Lester

Hello Hamid, A very beautiful image. The pattern in the foreground and leading back to the horizon is what draws the eye in, then you reach the sun and sky and the photo is complete. What I am trying to say is this is IMHO perfectly balanced and composed. Also wonderful warm colors are a good finishing touch. Excellent work. Take care.

Sincerely,

Holger

Splendid image, Hamid! Composition, light, pattern all put together well to a great image. Great work! Kind regards.

Warm regards Hamid!

A beautifully composed image with wonderful colors. The color-reflections in the foreground are simply marvelous. The textures in the foreground, the rich backdrop and the very effective horizon line have definitely enhanced the beauty and attraction of this spectacular photograph. Top score. Best regards.

stunning light, composition. great photo.

Wonderful work, Hamid ... beautiful capture with excellent use of lights & colors. Regards

 BROTHER Hamid Reza Farzandian! superb ,splendid , marvelous by exposure on site,composing the textures and a lot of work has produced a class of this !!!

stunning work Hamid, compliments!

Excellent warm sunrise colours, and with a nicely situated star ray sun. I like the low perspective detail and the repeated octagonal looking salt flat patterns with the touches of warm light. Just as an alternative suggestion perhaps a slightly higher perspective would accentuate further the repeated patterns and allow a 2/3 and 1/3 proportion for land and sky. Of course you may have already considered this.  Very well done Hamid, another good use of the ND grad I noticed too.

Best Regards

Excellent capture of the sun rise.The formation of salt crystals of the dried up salt lake  has been brought out very well.

Stunning scene...!

An excellent composition in this superb image Hamid! I love these glimpses you afford us into these seldom seen regions. Beautiful image.

All the best,
Neil

My dear friends, Tim, Harry, Tony Lester, Holger, Anabela, Pierre, Sumon, Zsolt, Ricardo, Khurshid, Art, Alf, Ramesh, Keith, Neil, Kallol, and Pekka:

I greatly appreciate your nice comments, warm words, positive inputs and encouragements, and sorry for my delayed reply ( im so busy these days! ). My best regards, Hamid.

Harry,

Cyprus is one of my fav place to visit, actually i planned to visit it last month, but eventually headed to varna, bulgaria ( and confronted with so bad weather! ). I'll visit this beautiful wonder of nature at near future. Thanks for your time and nice words. My best regards. Hamid.

Alf,

Thanks and much gratitude for your suggestions and critiques. Greatly appreciated. Actually hectagones are very large, and this height was my most available point through my tripod. But your point cited is wise and that was distinctly better to depict these structures for more distance. Thank you again. Hamid.

Awesome is the word for it. Great light, details clarity and the DOF. Just excellent when viewed in large. An image to remember.
All the best to you. Warm Regards.

Surrealistic forms, outstanding colors, balanced composition. Overall -- successful work!

A very nicely composed shot with beautiful lighting, Hamid!

A beautiful and most interesting composition. The sunset of course is lovely, but the foreground and it's textures really makes for a unique photograph. I love your use of light and perspective. Excellent crop. Kindest regards, Gail

A wonderful piece of work Hamid.  Those natural rings are fascinating.
