Minaret of Jam (detail) Photo

Photographer’s Note

The Minaret of Jam is intricately decorated over its entire surface. The patterns are designs from the Ghorid period. Even through the minaret is 800 years old the detail is remarkably well preserved.

For a shot of the entire tower please see yesterday's post here.

Hi Jonathan. I like this close-up of the Minaret and expecially how you framed it to include the beautiful sky and the moon, which is so great with a minaret... symbolic and iconic. well done.

I like this shot! The icredible detail is now apparent, and there is a wonderful transition between light and shadow. The addition of the moon is a nice touch. Great work!

Salut Jonathan,
J'aime aussi les détails de ce minaret. C'est une vraie ouvre-d'art! Et la Lune sur fond de ciel bleu: très bien vu! (d'ailleurs si tu veux la voir en gros plan un peu dans les mêmes conditions avec une de mes photos sur TN...)
Encore bravo!
Erwan.

Excellent exposure, nice deep rich colours, great contrast. This close up gives good detail of the carving and craftsmanship of the building. The moon is an inspired touch.
Great work

This detail was a good idea : the sculptures are so impressive !
Excellent sharpness and dof : the moon is quite pertinent here.
Well done.

Composition magistrale par sa simplicité et sa force. La dentelle de pierre et la lune c'est beau à voir. Merci.
