Khiva, a photo from Xorazm, West

Photographer's Note

Sunset in Khiva, city walls, Uzbeksitan. Khiva is split into two parts. The outer town, called Dichan Kala, was formerly protected by a wall with 11 gates. The inner town, Itchan Kala, is encircled by walls, whose foundations are believed to have been laid in the 10th century. Present-day crenellated walls date back to the late 17th century and attain the height of 10 meters.

Czesc Agnieszko!
Dokad to Ciebie zagnalo! Czyzby sladem Ryszarda Kapuscinskiego ("Kirgiz schodzi z konia")? Piekny widok. Dobre zdjecie. Swietna perspektywa. Dobra, zgaszona kolorystyka. Cieple oswietlenie.
Pozdrawiam!

I like the idea very much. I added a workshop where I played with levels and crop.

Agnieszka,
Your POV is outstanding causing the wall to look like a the back of a dragon. The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and detail. The strong angular lighting creates nice warm colors and deep shadows giving us nice contrast.
TFS,
Asa

I agree this is a clever angle, though the note is too scant.

Brawo. Piękne zdjęcie. Dodatkowy plus - duży plus za destynację. Mur w tym świetle wygląda jakby to był herbatnik cynamonowy. Super. Więcej zdjęć stamtąd proszę!

Hi Agnieszka,
It's a very charming photo of architecture because of its shapes and lines but also colours. It's at the same time a valid documentation and a good work of graphic-art.
Regards,
Giorgio
