In A Free Zone, a photo from Hormozgan, East

Photographer's Note

I was/am very busy in this weeks about my job,and I had to be out of Tehran.
For a few days ago I was in south of the Iran,in "Kish" Island,where is located in the "Persian Gulf".

I had not an enough time for photography,but hope I could be there again for a few days for rest and photography,you know,"Kish" Island is a great place for tourists.

About "Kish":

Kish Island is located 18 kilometres off the southern Iranian coasts.With respect to the greenwich meridian however, it is situated between the 26°, 32° and 15° northern latitude and 53°, 54° and 30° eastern longitude. The island lies 300 kilometers from Bandar Abbas, 400 kilometers from Bushehr, 200 kilometers from the Emirate of Dubai, and 1,600 kilometers in land route, or 1,052 kilometers in air route, from Tehran.
According to the national geographical divisions, Kish is in the domain of the Lengeh District, Hormuzgan Province, but is run independently by the Kish Free Zone Organization (KFZO).
The relatively oval island has an area of over 90 square kilometers:
15 km long(east-west) and 7 km wide (north-south).
***
I will try to say more about this Island in the Persian gulf in future.

Welcome back. Nice simple shot here, this reminds me a lot of Maria's style, and rather different from your usual. She's been busy too.

Very nice photo Mohammad and a nice addition to your two latest bird presence/subject photos. Well composed too and looking at the birds I can anticipate some kind of expectation from their side. The colours are very nice and I like the strong contrast between the water and the boat. Well captured!

A pity for those small sparrow, also in Belgium are there few of. I find you picture very lovely and excellent sharp and clear Mohammad.
Splendid work with you new camera!
Greetings John.

Simple yet effective shot. The birds youve shot are cute and always get me laughing at them when Im out and about.

As far as your shot goes, great composition, great colouring and cropping as well.

jmdaoudal (82) 2005-01-08 13:05

A great smile for these three "moineaux", your nature is simple, direct and this blue is very beautifull.
I like it

Very nice Mohammad, excellent contrast and beautiful color of the water, could have been nice also without the birds, but they add to this nice framing, well done.

nwoehnl (122) 2005-01-08 15:30

Nicely framed shot with the sparrows keeping an eye out on the water. Wonderful simplicity and good natural colors. Looking forward to seeing more of Kish in your upcoming postings.

Schultzy (5446) 2005-01-08 15:55

A nice wildlife shot Mohammad. The birds and the fishes are well captured. Wonderful green water. Perfect light.

Jeppe (18654) 2005-01-08 16:28

A fine and simple composition - I like the mix of blue colours, and the sight of those nice sparrows - it seems that those birds rather wide spread around the world - Actually do I feed such in front of my windows during the winter - thanks Mohammad for this fine view - looking forward to see more from this zone.

Yours
Jeppe

Now you have taken us from the Caspian Sea to the Persian Gulf, one end of Iran to the other. Now we just need the breadth of the country, also. I like this simple shot. The birds are a familiar sight anywhere in the world. I like the water and bit of boat giving that free open feel. The birds then add a nice reminder of nearby land. I hope you get to have fun with your new camera between your busy schedule. Can't wait to see more.

ChrisJ (171392) 2005-01-09 3:43

Hi Mohammad

I like the strength & simplicity of the compostion. The sparrows watching the fish are a great addition. I like the lighting on the diagonal waves. Good work!

Hanssie (11022) 2005-01-09 15:47

This could be an Aegean-shot, details on a boat but it's yours, a really g r e a t one ! And I like the textures of this boat, also the colours and yes..... I also like the textures of the birds !

Didi (61589) 2005-01-09 17:38

Composition simple, mais parfaitement cadrée avec les moineaux sur un point fort qui attire l'attention.
J'apprécie aussi la note qui est très intéressante.
Bon travail Mohammad.

Composition simple, but perfectly tallied with the sparrows on a strong point which draws the attention. I appreciate also the note which is very interesting.
Well done Mohammad.

Hello Mohammad, a pretty image of these sparrows which seem to look at right in front of, wanting to be unaware of all this food which swims below them. Amicalement/jr

bazal (7900) 2005-01-11 4:56

Hi Mohammad.
Your note is useful and it's interesting to learn more about Kish Island. The picture is original and well composed. The three birds alined on the boat are very funny. Well seen !

sn00zie (2384) 2005-01-11 9:00

yea, can't help but agree with Daniel on the Titanic bit.. lovely colors in this picture.

Janice (4403) 2005-01-12 2:47

I think those sparrows are sitting on the bow of the boat wishing they could fly down and catch some of those fish. This is a great composition and your eye has caught it so well -the contrast of colours is great. TFS
