Saad: the arabic text is now corrected to be read again from right to left.
Nick: i have corrected the 1 degree angulation.
Construction of a water reservoir in a wadi near Riyadh. In fact I stand on top of the barrier, dam. When you look well upside you can see a white car and a man. From that point a staircase is leading down to the right lower corner. It gives an idea of the dimensions :-) Converted from slidefilm: Nikon D50 Nikkor 105 mm VR lightbox home made slide holder etc post HDR with 3 raw images tone mapping moderate postprocessing
This one looks "right" considering orientation/levelling, and it also keeps the general atmosphere, but for some strange reason to a lesser extend than the colored one. The rather strong contrast of the hues of the stone construction against the sky, and the strong "redness" of the background are gone. But for this the B&W brought a much stronger sence of a documentary. It looks now much more like a documentation of "what has been".
thank you very much,this for Nick and Saad will leave a scar in my soul,it is my first time ever to receive something specifically and intensionally to me from outside Iraq, you don't know how much I am great full.my best regards.
