Photographer's Note
Wish all in the TE family a very Happy 2015
Cappadocia in Turkey is famous for magnificent valleys and unique formations shaped by the eruptions of three volcanoes; Mount Erciyes (3,917m), Mount Hasan (3,263m) and Mount Melendiz (2,963m). These valleys were used to hide the first churches of Cappadocia carved into fairy chimneys and caves.
Rose Valley is a large valley located between Goreme and Cavusin villages, and it is divided into many smaller valleys: Gulludere, Kizilcukur, Meskendir and Zindanonu valleys. This beautiful valley gets its name from the rose-colored rock that varies in hue and intensity depending on time of day, season and weather conditions. There are several cave churches, cave houses and cave tunnels in this valley, two of the best known churches being the Hacli Church and the Ayvali Church.
This is a panoramic view of the Rose Valley, with the Plateau Bozdag (1330m)dominating the background

Hi Angshu
I was standing in this very place three months ago! You presented a lovely contrast between the colours of the rocks and the deep saturated blue of the sky. The clouds are also very nice.
Wishing you a Happy New Year full of joy of travel and photography!

Hi Angshuman,
The composition is well divided, the sky, the mountains and the valley. The point of view is showing the details and the colors of the mountains and of the valley. The good luminosity is making the colors to stand out. Have a nice day.

A very beautiful landscape view with all these interesting geological formations. You were indeed lucky to get this combination of sunshine and shadows over the scenery to provide these excellent colours.

Hello Angshu,
Happy New Year to you and your loved ones. May all your dreams come true! Fantastic view of the Rose Valley. During my trip to Cappadocia I stayed in Cavusin, close to it. Bigger photo would be even more impressive.

Ciao Angshuman
ho avuto la fortuna di visitare questa località e di apprezzarne direttamente la bellezza e la grandiosità.
La tua foto è spettacolare perchè hai saputo cogliere il paesaggio in maniera stupenda trasformandolo in un quadro che colpisce l'immaginazione.
La composizione e la gestione delle luci sono perfette, la nitidezza eccellente e i colori sembrano le pennellate di un quadro.
Un ottimo lavoro.
Complimenti.
Ciao, buona giornata e auguri per il nuovo anno.

Hello Angshuman,
This is a less standardized views of Cappadocia than we see in most photos from that spectacular area. The scenery is no less beautiful, but you have chosen to give more prominence to the distant hills and the well shaped clouds, which is a refreshing approach.
Kind regards,

Hi Angshu
I know this scene well. I spent several days in Goreme. Good sharpness and I like the low horizon line and 'big sky'. Great color and saturation and the red contrasts well against the blue sky. The fg shadow detail is superb and the dark tones add another layer. Nice repetition of the clouds in the sky. Tfs!

Namaste, my friend Angshuman,
in this great framing you offers us not only the spectacular and amazing landscape of the Cappadocia, between light and shades, but also the wonderful aesthetical effect of the clouds on the deep blue sky.
You've managed perfectly the difficult exposure in this kind of luminosity, and have reached a high quality image.
It's a superb work, as usual.
My best wishes for 2015, to you and to your loved ones.

Hi Angshuman!
Beautiful and good quality shot! It's a great view over the valley, I can see some chimneys. The light and colours are really good and you got a fabulous sky! I've been there in 95, the place must have changed a lot since then.
Hope you enjoyed you trip to the caves, I'm returning to my posts of India very soon!

HiAngshu,
you had such wonderful weather conditions over there I am so jealous! The sky seems so be so nicely decorated by the lovely clouds. This and the great sunlight makes such a great difference for the landscape photography. I was quite miserable there with rain and white sky with no features.
Wonderful picture here which is not less impressive than photos of Great Canyon.
Excellent work,
M
