Beautiful interior of blue mosque captured beautifully with arts and paints. Details of the architecture captured interestingly with nice focus, lighting and colour.

A beautiful image that captures the architectural style as well as the famous colors . I like this composition with its upward looking perspective. Excellent details, beautiful colors and a remarkable capture of this cultural icon.

great capture, the arcitechture is stunning and you have caught the decoration perfectly,from experience photos don't show the grandeur as well as being there but the "looking up" view does say wow. flash used?

Fred,
It's breathtakingly beautiful both the Architecture & the colours if the intricate decorations. Beautiful composition & soft lighting with superb camera techniques with sharp focus.
