Alcove

Alcove

I loved the beautiful alcoves dispersed throughout the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, with their cool white Macedonian marble and their superb floral mosaics. They were a great place to sit and take a rest and enjoy the magnificent artistry of the mosque. Abu Dhabi, UAE. I liked that the man's clothing echoed the colours of the mosaic.

    I love the composition, one person and one piece of art and both linked by color, love it.

    Wonderful bit of serendipity to find a man wearing not just a color-coordinated shirt, but a shirt whose regular geometric pattern (plaid) is a good foil for the intricate floral mosaic work.

    Looking at this at 4x, the intricate detail of the mosaic is amazing. Seeing a person in the shot adds a lot, as he looks at his phone.

    Terrific serendipity that the man's shirt echoes the colors in the fabulous mosaic! I love your asymmetric comp!
