Main Entrance of Shah Zadeh garden, Mahan-Kerman(Click for larger view)

Shazdeh Garden (Persian: باغ شازده) meaning Prince’s Garden is a historical Persian garden located near (6km away from) Mahan in Kerman province, Iran. The garden is 5.5 hectares with a rectangular shape and a wall around it. It consists of an entrance structure and gate at the lower end and a two-floor residential structure at the upper end. The distance between these two is ornamented with water fountains that are engined by the natural incline of the land. The garden is a fine example of Persian gardens that take advantage of suitable natural climate. The garden was built for Abdolhamid Mirza Naserodollehand during the eleven years of his governorship in the Qajar dynasty. The construction was left unfinished, due to the death of Abdolhamid Mirza in the early 1890s.

Very nice image, good DOF, and excellent light.  The only remark I have is that the horizon is not level, but that is easy to correct.

Dear Sadegh,

I am a big fan of your portfolio. From time to time I visit it and every time I get so over whelmed. All your captures are so beautiful and well thought of as far as composition, color and light mangement that I can only learn from them. Thanks for going all over the world, especially our beloved Iran and show us all these gorgeous pictures.

Regards,
