that looks like a pretty steep road. Anyway the diagonal compo must be mentioned so it might aswell be me - It's great! The graphism is hardto miss, even with all these soft natural shapes. It looks like the JPEG conpression has made it a bit blurry, but nevermind, your conversion to sepia makes it look old and nostalgic anyway.

I see, like me, you're beginning to be influenced by others. This has a deffinate Gal/Isabelle look to it, but with a different subject. Very good use of the anlge to get the sheep in a diagonal across the image. Very effective experiment.

Good choice for b&w sepia. Great diagonal lines. What happened to the power poles in the background?

You've begun a wonderful serie in sepia.
Perfectly composed in a nice diagonal, excellent post-processing and the most important for me : very sensitive.
You are quickly climbing the steps, Mohammad, congratulations !

I really like this composition with the nice diagonal drawn by the road. The small detail of the telegraph poles of the background is great and the general mood of the picture is very interesting.
Good contribution, indeed !

Kenny10pin (19301) 2004-07-02 11:06

great angle and the sheep herder is well taken, the colour is really good too well done

Very good shot with the shepherd and his flock, Mohammad. The panoramic cropping gives you an excellent diagonal and a fine perspective, the shepherd is well placed in the frame, and the sepia presentation looks very good. The power poles are another interesting detail. Well captured.

Thanks for providing one for the theme, with the grand finale from the "Sgt Peppers" album ;-)

Yeah, this a real Iranian picture, I think, that愀 what I had in mind.
This shot is not just a picture, but there愀 some artistic in it !
Nice angle and the sepiacolour is well chosen.
Fine art, Mohammad !

Panoramic format and movement on the diagonal of the composition. We follow the road and and its layout to accompany this man and his animals in their travel. great work

Jeppe (18654) 2004-07-02 17:50

Nice title (I like this song - as most of Beatles works ;-)

And yes - this surely a(nother) day in the life - you captured that shepherd and hes flock very well - I like the sepia and the diagonal line - thanks for sharing Mohammad

manny (22032) 2004-07-03 22:13

Very very good. I like the composition an dthe colors here. Excellent diagonal and sepia is a very good choice.

Have a good day Mohammad.

That's a good number of sheep. I like how they are all sticking to the edge of the road. So much so that they even crowd up on the edge of that hump over the drop on the other side. The posture of the shepherd, the dog and all the sheep gives this a feel of everyone going home from a long day at work. Even the sheep had it touch today. Nice sepia to this though I wouldn't mind seeing it in color or black and white instead. Nicely done.

very very beautiful composition and tones, Mohammad.
you show us an Iran that (for me) is brand brand new.
thanks a lot for sharing.

cmartos (242) 2004-07-08 17:41

Excellent shot, wonderful angle and PP. This is very, very well done Mohammad. Fine work, and thanks for sharing. I like it a lot.

Very nice POV and crop! the positioning of the shepperd is excelent and the space in front of him really give the feeling of direction and moving to him. The sense of depht is amazing. Very, very good.
