Thank you Trevor for your comment. As I explained to that individual who DID NOT like the styles of my photography, I love to take images in all aspects of life. I like to make abstract from an image, take images of architecture, macro, nature, fashion, to photo Journalist images. Unfortunately that individual would love to be prison himself to his own dagma. It is his choice!! I am very sorry for these kind of individuals who see the world based on what they would like to interpret, and as a result we would see this mess all around the Mother Earth. Back to my image for the Norooz 1387, The Iranian New Year, as I mentioned I created 27 layers. I worked for almost 7 hours non-stop in order to prepare this greeting card, although I faced with 2 computer crashes. In this image, I used the vivid colors, flowers as a symbol of spring and freshness. That soldier is an Iranian one during the Great Persian Empire. I took his eyes out and arranged those colorful circles in such a way that he sees the colorful of our life far from hid rigidness of his military discipline. The image on the Time magazine is Dr Mosadegh, one of heros of Iranian nation. You can check this link ( http://www.farhangsara.com/mosadegh.htm http://www.farhangsara.com/mosadegh.htm ) Last that calligraphy is a love poem by one of the greatest Iranian poet, Roudaki. You can read about him here: http://www.iranchamber.com/literature/roudaki/roudaki.php http://www.iranchamber.com/literature/roudaki/roudaki.php Hope by now, you see clearly what I tried to show in my greeting card. By the way thank you for the link.
