Goat Breeder by the Lagoon, a photo from Sistan va Baluchestan, East

Photographer's Note

Chabahar - Gwater Road

One of the lagoons at the coastal road of the Chabahar port to the Gwater gulf is seen in this shot ; the road itself is in the right and the miniature mounts in the background.

Although the economy of this region is relied on fishery and agriculture and in recent decade the presence of Chabahar Free Zone has affected the tourism , commerce and industry, but still many locals breed animals; mostly goats. When we asked the reason, they said because the feeding of the goats is both easier and cheaper. The man wearing traditional clothes of Baluchestan, was gathering forage for his goats.

Hello Atousa,
I keep being astonished with the wonderful landscapes of this part of Iran. In this colorful picture, in addition to your previous posts, you show many new details of this beautiful place, including the water vegetation and the soil of so unusual color. The man in traditional clothes is a very important and interesting compositional element. Excellent presentation of your wonderful country!
Best regards,
Sergiy

Hi Atousa,
Waht a surreal landscape, a sandy desert and a lake. Once again, I enjoy your photo showing the lesser know places in your homeland from a perspective so someone who know so well the area.
Really beautiful and refreshing scenery. Beautiful composition, good colors in this overcast day. the distant mountain gives good depth and enhances the composition.
Thanks
Way

Dear Atoosa,

This is a great shot. what I love in your photos is that you can express the feeling of whole region in one shot. It worths alot because these areas are sometimes the least seen places in our country.
We love traveling and we do lots of traveling around. Would be happy to have a trip together once:)

Salam Atousa.
A wonderful landscape with one good contrast of colors, these reddish lands the silver lagoon and the bushes of vegetation, the presence of the personal one gives a major idea of the grandeur of the panorama. Good color and luminosity.
Best regards.
Luis.

P/D. Today certainly I have put in my gallery a photo of your country, hope that you like if you visit it.

Once more you offering us a beautiful landscape of your country which I'll love to visit some day ;)
A well timed captured of the shepherd collecting grass for his cattle and giving life to the scene. The mountains made for an excellent BG ...
Have a nice day

Interesting colors and shapes of the place, with a good sense of depth. Beautiful mountains on the background, and the inclusion of the man was very wise, especially beacusae of his clothes and the grass he's carrying, makes him part of the environment. Congratulations!

Hi Atousa

A good daily life scene with the solitary goat breeder animating the scene. Striking warm cold colour contrasts between the red sand & blue grey water & sky. Tfs!

Hi Atousa,
Nice to see surrounding environment near to the rocky mountain, the soil also look like in Mars' color, suprise to see source of water, good perspective and good frame with including a man in local costume, good shoot.

Salam Atousa, Very interesting landscape with incredible colours, looking at your earlier pictures of this area it's difficult to imagine that there is refreshing inland water behind those martian hills. Beautiful scene with the goat breeder well placed in the frame, an essential element that adds life & interest to this scene especially as he his wearing his traditional clothes. Well done, lovely capture.
Thank you
Regards
Santo

We see those amazing rocks in the far BG. Light seems to be not that good here without any pronounced shadows or contrasts, but like the lead-in created by the red path and of course the goat herder who definitely brings an additional interest to this scene. Well done!
Best Regards
Angshu
