What excellent framing this is. The columns look wonderful as the frame and they guide the eyes to the Mosque. Wonderful information as well. Like the tones of tan/brown. Are those security cameras on the rod across columns? I don't think so, but I wasn't sure what they were. Very good post Paul

Perfect framing of a beautiful structure! I would like to have a go at removing some of the distracting elements in this (people, cameras etc) and upload it as a rework if you don't mind?

Outstanding!... the wide-angle is an absolute necessity here and you have framed it flawlessly. Immediately into my favorites and a 10 in the voting booth.

I hurried straight here when I heard the Adhan. Actually, it was when I saw the title. You are traveling in Turkey? I have seen this mosque and it is magnificent. I wish I had better than a 3 MP camera when I did. You have done a wonderful job in capturing it in this perspective. You used a wide angle lens, right? I have put this one into favorites.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

Captivating picture, the details are stunning. As for the so called cameras, on close look and the way they are distributed, these are only light projectors. Thanks for sharing.

This is really super, and I don't understand that c index at all. It's much better than that standard would imply.

Hey PJ,if you like it, that is enough to justify an upload and put a smile on my face! What else could I ask for?
Screw the C thing, I never cared about it.
