A gret great one, Jiri. I saw so many photos of this dome, but this is really excellent. adding the blue facade is a great idea and makes a great contrast. An amazing shot.
I like the way I learn about Israel through your photos..
Well done. Give us more.

Excellent shot, Jiri. The colors are indeed stunning, and your composition of having the golden dome being included into two different blue layers is very good. The sharpness of the shot helps to appreciate a lot of interesting details. Well done!

Great combination of dark blue and orange colors. And very interesting combination of simple roof/sky and text/ornaments.
Symmetry works very well. Great framing.
Well seen and done.

A simple but strong composition, and great colours. Your frame presents this well.

Nice powerful shot... The colors and details are amazing. It is well framed. Nice addition to the "Domes" theme.

A wonderful picture, Jiri. Such sharpness and glow against the dark sky. The straight foreground is both fine geometry contrast and a fine colormatch of the sky.

That strict compo really eases the reading of the shot. the blue of the bottom mosaics is perfectly recalled with the dark color of the sky, while the golden dome obviously replaces the sun, missing in your shot.

Very nicely done.

See above comments. Yes, I am also fascinated with these contrasts. It would be nice to obtain a translation for the arabic inscription.

Eccelent laconic composition

I like this composition too. The combination with the golden cupola and the blue of the sky with adornment in the bottom its just perfect. I suppose that you are used the polarizer to reach this heavenly blue?

Beautifully composed. The constrasting blues and golds are wonderful and the many patterns are great. Well done.
