Ciao Stefano,
composizione semplice ed efficace... molto eloquente e vagamente inquietante.
Bravo.

l'ayatollah del cartellone ha un'aria poco rassicurante...e considerando quel che si sente temo che il popolo iraniano (di cui mi hanno detto un gran bene...) a breve riscgua di pagarne i deliri...

ciao

Hi Stefano
the ayatollah is smiling, so they have to vote for him. Good framing to include the 2 black dressed women.
Cheers

Hello Stefano. When you see the photo, makes one think about this divided country. One can only hope that Iran will back his human and democratic path. Regards, Wolfgang.

Ciao Stefano

The composition is really good; but I regret that I am unable to read the advertisement! I like the colors but I think you could have cropped slightly tighter on the left, to avoid the red element that distracts the attention at the beginning of the green line of trees. I wonder if you did not take a big risk by taking this picture? Like the official propaganda in Myanmar that it is prohibited to photograph! Well done.
Regards
Marine

Bonjour Stefano

Les voyages en Iran ne sont pas n嶰essairement populaires en ce moment. Tr鋊 belle composition avec les 2 femmes voil嶪s devant une affiche d'ayatholla.

Hello Stefano,

This photo makes me think about same scene I could see in Tripoli with posters of Kadhafi. It seems the thinking and behavior is close in Iran.
I like the composition including the 2 black dressed women in the opposite corner. One of the face of this country.
It remembers me the movie Persepolis I found very interesting.

Yves.
