Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel
Amazing capture showing the inner structure of this temple - your text shows that the so called two different religions are just a different aspect of the same origin - love that - great angle and position, amazing DOF - great contrast and luminosity as inside of cathedrals it is mostly very dark - I love the structure within the structure, a very interesting building - I just saw it from outside , great job

Fred,
A beautiful picture of the Dome of the Hagia Sophia showing the beauty of it's construction & the mosaics decorating it & the Islamic extracts from the Koran on the attached Discs. Beautifully composed & lit by the Chandler. Superb camera techniques with sharp focus.

Comment from David.Milburn
Impact: Colourful and Interesting

Technique: Well conceived.

Subject: Insightful Narrative

Exposure: Well handled.

Pink corner on the bottom left is distracting.

Personally, I feel that the ornate chandelier falls out of the image in direct contrast to the fabulous columns, walls and ceiling.

Excellent shot. Love the play of the light and the shadows, like the lighting, texture, sharp focus and frame. Well done.
