Rework
A rework of Paul Gerritsons original image here.
I have removed the people and some of the security cameras from the image, also gave it a bit more saturation and contrast and sharpened it slightly. Hope you like it Paul!
More images and prints available in my Deviant art and Redbubble galleries.

You did a fine job with the color saturation and contrast, Sam, but I think that the people belong in the shot. It is an example of wonderful Islamic architecture, but without the people it doesn't have the same feeling. (I'm not sure those are cameras, but perhaps speakers, but it is good that you removed the ones in the foreground so we could have a better view).

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.

Great rework, Sam. I'm not a people person in my images either. I always remove them. Love the detail on this and the clean lines. The colors are rich. Nice job.

Looks great Sam...you spent some time on this. My guess is those are lights you removed. Good work in PS.

Between you & Paul, we have the best of both worlds. We can see the original structure as the people view it and here we can appreciate all the lines, shadows and angles that this mosque has to offer for us to view artistically.
Both images are very well done. I also have some photos that could use some specialty PS work...just kidding Sam.
Thanks for all the time you spent re-working this image. Saved to my favorites ;=)

Ha, ha, that is marvallous Sam!
It now has a completely different atmosphere and feeling.
You have done an outstanding job, thank you for the time you spend on reworking my original picture. I see you even removed the lines in the middle arch.
Great!

If you can't find the words, you may as well shoot it...
Wow you did an awesome job, very nice work, like the added color saturation and think this really brings the structure to life. Good work

Life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably and never regret anything that made you smile.

What a difference removing a few distractions makes. People are part of tourism but I hate to have a crowd in a shot of beautiful architecture. Paul's image was stunning, this is beyond words. Very nicely done! anne =D

Critiquing art of any kind is utterly subjective. When I vote on your images, I look at several things. First, my initial gut reaction. Then, is it straight (if it should be); is the color correct or if intentionally saturated or desaturated, was it done properly and does it enhance the image; composition - if you intended a bulls-eye, unless it's an outstanding image that is really served by centering the subject, it'll get dinged; is the horizon dead center - again, unless there's an obvious reason that makes it a better photo, no points; is the subject interesting and uncluttered; is the image sharp; is the depth of field right for this composition, is there a catchlight in the creature's eye; would I hang this on my wall; is it an image I'd be proud to display; is it artistic or just a snapshot; does it move me; is there a message conveyed; is it documentary in nature and if so, does it tell the story in such a way it makes me want more. When I critique a photo in your gallery, I'm only suggesting what my subjective nature prefers. No need to defend your position if you like your image the way it is. If you give me constructive criticism on my pieces, I guarantee you I will take them to heart. I love to improve! Bring it on Caedians! Love, anne =D
