Three Cappadocian pyramids, a photo from Nevsehir, Central Anatolia

Photographer's Note

A view of some of the countless interesting rock formations of the area around G鰎eme, taken shortly before sunset. These are located approximately North of the G鰎eme Open Air Museum ("G鰎eme A�ık Hava M鼁esi" in Turkish), at the end of the Valley of the Roses (I think...), aka Red Valley, in a smooth slope that marks the eastern limit of the plain that extends from North of G鰎eme to Cavusin.

The image is a stitch of two horizontal shots. I don't remember why I chose having a stitched image instead of a simple shot; maybe it was because I couldn't get a POV that allow me the angle to get the three rock pyramids in the same shot, maybe I was lazy to walk to a distance that allowed that POV, maybe I am addicted to stitched images. :-)

I am not sure if the tree on the left is necessary to the compo. I posted a cropped version as workshop. What do you think?

Hello Jose,
Great photo of the impressive rock formations and you captured them in a beautiful, low light, that adds great, warm colours to the photo. I prefer this one to the WS version; the tree is a good inclusion, I think.

Hello Jos�,
The wonderful rock formations of Cappadocia always provide fantastic views.
Here you present them bathing in splendid reddish tones created under the late evening light.
Best regards, Paul

Fantastic red light upon the unique Pyramids of Cappadokia, an attractive earth formation, Jose.
Work of winds and maybe water in ancient era, the place is an outstanding open archeology-museum.
Well taken with superb light and chosen POV.
Boa tardes,
Ike

Hello Jose,
Your composition for these three fairy chimneys basking in the late afternoon sun is very pleasant. The orange light from the sun has rendered a nice contrast between the ground and the blue sky.
Regards,
MT
