 Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi is the largest mosque in the United Arab Emirates and the eighth largest mosque in the world. It opened in 2007 and is named after Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founder and the first President of the United Arab Emirates, who is also buried there. It is an amazing space for photographs and always inspiring.

A little more sharpening would bring out the detail in the gold leaves and contrast the blur of the person.

Love the high key and color contrast here, but wish the gold leaf was sharper.

This is a church? Where? I have never seen one with the columns like that and escalators.

this is a lovely image, i just wished it didn't have that escalator in it so i could believe it was a church.

Pattern is beautiful. I would have loved it more if the person wasn't in motion. It kind of distracts my eyes too much from the great symmetry of the church.
