I love the texture on this photo. The angle of the photograph is also perfect, not too slanted nor directly overhead. The earth colors also help in the overall feeling for the photo.

    I always appreciate getting reviews, but I also appreciate to be explained the reason for the ratings I receive. Since you have given this phooto 4 stars, I would like to know what is wrong with it.

    Its a personal opinion, you probably see it differently. The tiles on the top right are not cracked, a crack or two might have added to consistency. Also a bit of panning out, that is not as much of a close-up. But then, of course, that is my opinion.

I really like the feeling of age and order that comes from this. Despite the crazy mending lines, the obvious precision of the tiles and their design shows an artistic and organized effort all those centuries ago. Colors are lovely, muted and traditional to the area. Great eye and great catch!
