Prayer, a photo from Golestan, East

Photographer's Note

استان گلستان. بندر ترکمن
..................................
This photo was taken in Turkmen port. My photographer friends and I were touring the local market when I came across this scene and I saw these men praying and I took some pictures of them. rnIt was sunset and there was not enough light. I will share two more views in the workshop. rnThey are travelers from Baluchistan, Iran.

Hello Ali,
You used a good upwards viewpoint to capture the praying man on top of the rocks. They stand out well from the sky and the rocks have got a nice warm hue.

Pozdrav.

Lep pogled i trenutak, dobar tekst ...
Lepa scena u trenutku molitve, dobro pokazano sa lepim bojama, kontrastom i uhvacenim trenutkom.
Dobar rad sa fotografijama u radionici.
Lepo secanje.
Imao sam mnogo Nikona i objketiva, dobro su me sluzili, zato sam nastavio sa njima.

Zelim vam lepu i mirnu noc, sve najbolje.
Paja

Hello Ali,
Even though the technical quality is not the best, because of bad light, these are good photos. They are also very interesting for showing us some of the way of life in Iran. The rocky environment creates a certain excitement, and the low angle of the main photo has a good effect.
Best regards,
Gert

HI Ali
A good oldie but it needed some cleaning up of marks from when it was scanned. They can be easily removed by cloning them out.
cheers

Hello Ali,

The light was certainly a problem for your photographs but it has not prevented you from capturing the scene with a perceptible atmosphere. Your upwards viewpoint of the praying figures, preceded by the huge rocks, set against the starry sky, is very effective in creating the atmosphere.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Ali,
We can see it is an older photo taken in the predigital times.
I actually like photographing people while they are praying. I mean I did it in the past now I don't take too many people photos at all. But I think they often have very focused face expressions which makes them unique but of course it is not always well seen to take photos of them
Very well done,
M
